用物理约束的神经表示建模呼吸运动,提升放疗精准度。

Biophysics-Enhanced Neural Representations for Patient-Specific Respiratory Motion Modeling

  • 引入生物物理约束的隐式神经表征,实现连续可微的呼吸运动建模。
  • 在插值任务上表现相当,外推能力显著优于传统方法。
  • 适合需要高精度外推的个性化放疗场景,尤其适用于肺部与腹部肿瘤。

精确的放射剂量空间投递对放疗成功至关重要。在肺及上腹部区域,呼吸运动带来显著治疗不确定性,需特殊运动管理技术。为此,常采用呼吸运动模型推断患者特异性运动,以更高效地靶向剂量。本文研究了隐式神经表示(INR)在代理模型中的应用,提出基于物理正则化的呼吸运动建模方法(PRISM-RM)。新模型无需固定参考呼吸状态,不同于传统成对配准,该方法提供轨迹感知、时空连续且微分同胚的运动表征,提升了对超出训练数据范围的外推场景的泛化能力。通过引入生物物理约束,确保时间序列上的运动估计具有生理合理性。结果表明,本方法在插值任务中表现相当,但在外推任务中明显优于初始提出的基于INR的方法。与基于序列配准的方法相比,两者在插值上性能相当,但后者在外推时表现较差。然而,INR的方法特性使其特别适合呼吸运动建模,随着性能持续提升,展现出推动该领域发展的巨大潜力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

A precise spatial delivery of the radiation dose is crucial for the treatment success in radiotherapy. In the lung and upper abdominal region, respiratory motion introduces significant treatment uncertainties, requiring special motion management techniques. To address this, respiratory motion models are commonly used to infer the patient-specific respiratory motion and target the dose more efficiently. In this work, we investigate the possibility of using implicit neural representations (INR) for surrogate-based motion modeling. Therefore, we propose physics-regularized implicit surrogate-based modeling for respiratory motion (PRISM-RM). Our new integrated respiratory motion model is free of a fixed reference breathing state. Unlike conventional pairwise registration techniques, our approach provides a trajectory-aware spatio-temporally continuous and diffeomorphic motion representation, improving generalization to extrapolation scenarios. We introduce biophysical constraints, ensuring physiologically plausible motion estimation across time beyond the training data. Our results show that our trajectory-aware approach performs on par in interpolation and improves the extrapolation ability compared to our initially proposed INR-based approach. Compared to sequential registration-based approaches both our approaches perform equally well in interpolation, but underperform in extrapolation scenarios. However, the methodical features of INRs make them particularly effective for respiratory motion modeling, and with their performance steadily improving, they demonstrate strong potential for advancing this field.
