用扩散模型迭代对齐眼底图像,提升不同视野范围图像的配准精度。

Active Diffusion Matching: Score-based Iterative Alignment of Cross-Modal Retinal Images

  • 基于双扩散模型,通过迭代采样优化全局与局部变形。
  • 在私有和公开数据集上分别提升5.2和0.4点mAUC指标。
  • 适合需要跨模态眼底图像配准的医学影像研究与临床应用。

目标:解决标准眼底图像(SFIs)与超广角眼底图像(UWFIs)因视域差异大、视网膜形态模糊导致的配准难题。目前尚无专用方法,现有技术精度不足。方法:提出主动扩散匹配(ADM),一种新型跨模态对齐方法。ADM结合两个相互依赖的基于评分的扩散模型,通过迭代朗之万马尔可夫链联合估计全局变换与局部形变,实现随机、渐进式的最优对齐搜索。此外,引入定制化采样策略以增强对输入图像对的适应性。结果:对比实验表明,ADM达到当前最优配准精度。在自建的SFI-UWFI配对数据集及公开的SFI-SFI数据集上,相较现有最先进方法,mAUC分别提升5.2和0.4个百分点。结论:ADM有效弥合了SFI与UWFI之间的配准鸿沟,为此前未解决的挑战提供创新解法。其联合优化全局与局部对齐的能力,使其在跨模态图像对齐任务中表现优异。意义:该方法有望推动SFI与UWFI的融合分析,提升临床实用性,并支持基于学习的图像增强。此进展可能显著提高眼科诊断准确率与患者预后。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Objective: The study aims to address the challenge of aligning Standard Fundus Images (SFIs) and Ultra-Widefield Fundus Images (UWFIs), which is difficult due to their substantial differences in viewing range and the amorphous appearance of the retina. Currently, no specialized method exists for this task, and existing image alignment techniques lack accuracy. Methods: We propose Active Diffusion Matching (ADM), a novel cross-modal alignment method. ADM integrates two interdependent score-based diffusion models to jointly estimate global transformations and local deformations via an iterative Langevin Markov chain. This approach facilitates a stochastic, progressive search for optimal alignment. Additionally, custom sampling strategies are introduced to enhance the adaptability of ADM to given input image pairs. Results: Comparative experimental evaluations demonstrate that ADM achieves state-of-the-art alignment accuracy. This was validated on two datasets: a private dataset of SFI-UWFI pairs and a public dataset of SFI-SFI pairs, with mAUC improvements of 5.2 and 0.4 points on the private and public datasets, respectively, compared to existing state-of-the-art methods. Conclusion: ADM effectively bridges the gap in aligning SFIs and UWFIs, providing an innovative solution to a previously unaddressed challenge. The method's ability to jointly optimize global and local alignment makes it highly effective for cross-modal image alignment tasks. Significance: ADM has the potential to transform the integrated analysis of SFIs and UWFIs, enabling better clinical utility and supporting learning-based image enhancements. This advancement could significantly improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes in ophthalmology.
