用3D SAM框架在数据少时精准分割放疗损伤,提升肿瘤治疗评估能力。
A 3D SAM-Based Progressive Prompting Framework for Multi-Task Segmentation of Radiotherapy-induced Normal Tissue Injuries in Limited-Data Settings

- 基于3D SAM分步注入文本、剂量框和点击提示,逐步优化分割
- 小目标聚焦损失使小病灶边界更清晰,准确率显著提升
- 适用于头颈部放疗损伤多类型分割,尤其适合标注数据少场景
放疗引起的正常组织损伤是临床重要并发症,准确分割医学影像中的损伤区域有助于疾病评估、治疗规划和长期监测。然而,由于体素级标注数据有限,且损伤类型、病灶大小和成像模态差异大,自动分割仍面临挑战。为此,我们构建了一个专注的头颈部放疗相关正常组织损伤数据集,涵盖三种表现形式:骨放射性坏死(ORN)、脑水肿(CE)和脑放射性坏死(CRN)。我们进一步提出一种基于3D SAM的渐进式提示框架,用于在数据有限条件下实现多任务分割。该框架逐步引入三类互补提示:文本提示用于任务感知适配,剂量引导的框提示用于粗略定位,点击提示用于迭代精修。同时引入小目标聚焦损失,增强对小而稀疏病灶的局部预测与边界识别能力。在ORN、CE和CRN上的实验表明,该方法在多种损伤类型下均取得可靠分割性能,优于现有最先进方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Radiotherapy-induced normal tissue injury is a clinically important complication, and accurate segmentation of injury regions from medical images could facilitate disease assessment, treatment planning, and longitudinal monitoring. However, automatic segmentation of these lesions remains largely unexplored because of limited voxel-level annotations and substantial heterogeneity across injury types, lesion size, and imaging modality. To address this gap, we curate a dedicated head-and-neck radiotherapy-induced normal tissue injury dataset covering three manifestations: osteoradionecrosis (ORN), cerebral edema (CE), and cerebral radiation necrosis (CRN). We further propose a 3D SAM-based progressive prompting framework for multi-task segmentation in limited-data settings. The framework progressively incorporates three complementary prompts: text prompts for task-aware adaptation, dose-guided box prompts for coarse localization, and click prompts for iterative refinement. A small-target focus loss is introduced to improve local prediction and boundary delineation for small and sparse lesions. Experiments on ORN, CE, and CRN demonstrate that the proposed method achieves reliable segmentation performance across diverse injury types and outperforms state-of-the-art methods.
