  • 多专家协同决策,根据图像质量与病灶特征动态分配病例
  • 在三个国际数据集上实现更低临床成本与更高诊断准确率
  • 适合需要高可靠性医疗AI的临床筛查场景

学习性延迟(L2D)可通过将复杂或不确定的病例转介给医生来提升青光眼筛查安全性,但传统方法忽略专家可用性、阅读者行为差异、工作负荷不均、诊断危害不对称性、形态学难度及部署域偏移。本文提出MPD²-Router,一种掩码感知的多专家延迟路由框架,将眼科分诊重构为受限的人机协同路由:决定是否转介以及转介给哪位可用专家。该框架采用双头延迟/分配策略,结合掩码感知的Gumbel-Sigmoid门控机制,严格确保样本级专家可用性,并融合不确定性、形态学、图像质量与分布外(OOD)信号。训练使用非对称成本敏感目标函数,结合增强拉格朗日延迟预算、群体特异性分布先验与秩主导化JS正则项,共同防止专家坍塌且不强制均匀分配。在三个跨国家青光眼队列(REFUGE、CHAKSU、ORIGA)中,以冻结的REFUGE预训练骨干网络为基础,MPD²-Router显著降低临床成本并提升整体分类性能,在适度延迟率下优于纯AI模型。其在F1-MCC-成本三者间达到帕累托最优,对跨域迁移具有鲁棒性,且实现均衡的专家利用率。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Learning-to-defer (L2D) can make glaucoma screening safer by routing difficult/uncertain cases to humans, yet standard formulations overlook expert availability, heterogeneous readers behavior, workload imbalance, asymmetric diagnostic harm, case difficulty from morphology and deployment shift. We introduce MPD$^2$-Router, a mask-aware multi-expert deferral framework that recasts ophthalmic triage as constrained human--AI routing: whether to defer and to which available expert. It couples a dual-head deferral/allocation policy with mask-aware Gumbel--sigmoid gating that strictly enforces per-sample availability, and fuses uncertainty, morphology, image-quality, and OOD signals. Training uses an asymmetric cost-sensitive objective with an augmented-Lagrangian deferral budget, a group-specific distribution prior, and a rank-majorization JS regularizer that jointly prevent expert collapse without forcing uniform allocation. Across three cross-national glaucoma cohorts (REFUGE, CHAKSU, ORIGA) with a frozen REFUGE-trained backbone, MPD$^2$-Router substantially lowers clinical cost and improves MCC over AI-only at a moderate deferral rate. It is Pareto-optimal in F1--MCC--cost, robust under cross-domain shift, and yields balanced expert utilization.
