  • 通过分析神经科医生关注点,提出更贴近临床需求的评估框架。
  • 在两个公开数据集上验证现有模型,发现其在复杂病例中表现不佳。
  • 强调需引入新指标以支持医院实际部署,适合医学影像研究者参考。

多发性硬化症(MS)是一种慢性自身免疫性疾病,显著影响患者生活质量。现有治疗手段仅能延缓病情进展,因此早期检测与精准监测疾病变化至关重要。深度学习为脑部MRI中的MS病灶检测与分割提供了顶尖模型。然而,多数模型仅依赖Dice分数评估,未考虑病灶级检测与分割性能,也忽略了在人类标注者易混淆或对疾病诊断至关重要的复杂情况下的表现。本文强调必须重新思考MS病灶分割模型的评估方式。我们详细阐述了‘问题指纹’分析,揭示神经科医生在脑MRI中关注的关键特征及所需量化指标,以准确评估模型在实际诊疗场景中的表现。同时,我们在两个开源数据集上对当前先进模型进行了分析,评估其在真实医疗环境中的可用性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disease that can significantly reduce the quality of life of a patient. Existing treatment options can only help slow down the progression of the disease. Therefore, early detection and precise monitoring of disease progression are important. Deep learning offers state-of-the-art models for detecting and segmenting MS lesions in brain MRI scans. However, most of these models are evaluated using the Dice score, without accounting for lesion-wise detection and segmentation performance or other metrics that quantify model performance in cases that are complex or confusing for human annotators, or in cases that are essential for disease detection and progression monitoring. In this paper, we highlight the need to rethink the evaluation of MS lesion segmentation models. In this context, we first present problem fingerprinting in detail to highlight what neurologists look for in brain MRI scans for MS detection and progression monitoring, and which metrics are required to properly quantify model performance in these contexts. Additionally, we present an analysis of state-of-the-art models on two open-source datasets using these metrics to highlight their usability for real-world deployment in hospitals.
