SIAM: Head and Brain MRI Segmentation from Few High-Quality Templates via Synthetic Training

- 通过合成数据生成,融合强度与形态域随机化,提升模型泛化能力。
- 在8个异构数据集上表现优于或媲美现有方法,涵盖多种影像模态与年龄跨度。
- 首次实现无需预处理的全自动全头分割,适合临床与科研大规模应用。
合成训练近年来推动了脑部MRI分割的发展,使完全基于生成数据训练的对比无关模型成为可能。然而,大多数现有方法依赖数百个自动标注的模板,引入系统性偏差并限制新解剖结构的整合。我们提出全头分割框架SIAM,仅使用六个高质量人工标注模板,对16个解剖结构进行3D分割。SIAM将领域随机化扩展至强度与形态双重域:合成图像生成保证对比度多样性,高分辨率空间变换模拟皮层厚度与深核形态差异。不同于以往合成模型,SIAM同时分割脑组织及颅外组织(包括脑脊液、血管、硬膜、颅骨和皮肤),实现无需预处理的全自动分析。在八个异构数据集(N=301)上的评估表明,其在脑结构分割上达到或超越当前最优水平,并将自动化分割拓展至非脑结构。模型在不同对比度与重复扫描中表现出更高一致性,且对细微灰质萎缩更敏感。模型与标注模板已开源:https://github.com/romainVala/SIAM。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Synthetic training has recently advanced brain MRI segmentation by enabling contrast-agnostic models trained entirely on generated data. However, most existing approaches rely on hundreds of automatically labeled templates, introducing systematic biases and limiting their flexibility to incorporate new anatomical structures. We present the Segment It All Model (SIAM), a 3D whole-head segmentation framework for 16 anatomical structures, trained using only six high-quality, manually annotated templates. SIAM extends domain randomization to both intensity and shape domains: synthetic image generation ensures contrast variability, while high-resolution spatial transformations model anatomical differences in cortical thickness and deep nuclei morphology. Unlike prior synthetic models, SIAM simultaneously segments brain as well as extra-cerebral tissues, including cerebrospinal fluid, vessels, dura mater, skull, and skin, enabling fully automated, preprocessing-free analysis. Evaluation across eight heterogeneous datasets (N=301), that include multiple contrasts (T1-weighted, T2-weighted, CT) and span a wide range of ages, demonstrates that SIAM matches or outperforms state-of-the-art methods for brain structures, in addition to extending automated segmentation to non-brain structures. The model also exhibits superior consistency across contrasts and repeated acquisitions, together with improved sensitivity to subtle gray matter atrophy. We openly release the model and the label templates at https://github.com/romainVala/SIAM.
