  • 直接从k空间学分割,结合频域与图像域信息
  • 加速采样和加噪下,混合模型准确率更高且下降更慢
  • 适合临床真实数据不完整场景,尤其看重鲁棒性的研究者

目的:评估是否可直接从采集的MRI k空间学习乳腺病灶分割,以及这种方法在数据加速或含噪情况下是否提升鲁棒性。方法:回顾性使用公开的乳腺动态对比增强MRI(DCE-MRI)数据集,包含真实与合成k空间,以及组内合成对照。比较四种3D U-Net变体:混合k空间到图像模型、纯k空间模型,以及幅值与复数图像空间基线。在逐步增加欠采样和添加复高斯k空间噪声条件下评估。主要结果为交叉验证下的患者级Dice相似系数,预设混合模型为主要对比对象。结果:全采样时,混合模型与图像空间模型性能相当。随着加速程度提高,混合模型保持更高分割精度,在中到高欠采样水平显著优于幅值图像基线。同样在直接向k空间添加噪声时,混合模型退化更缓慢,而图像基线在强噪声下失效。该优势在组内合成控制中再次验证。特征分析表明,k空间阶段与图像阶段发挥互补作用,频域滤波集中于图像域病灶定位前。结论:引入k空间感知的深度学习可提升乳腺病灶分割在欠采样和k空间噪声下的鲁棒性,同时在全采样时性能与图像空间方法持平。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Purpose: To assess whether breast lesion segmentation can be learned directly from acquired MRI k-space, and whether doing so improves robustness when data are accelerated or noisy. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study used public breast dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) datasets with acquired and synthetic k-space, together with a within-dataset synthetic control. We compared four 3D U-Net variants: a hybrid k-space-to-image model, a native k-space model, and magnitude and complex image-space baselines. Models were evaluated under increasing undersampling and added complex Gaussian k-space noise. The primary outcome was patient-level Dice similarity coefficient under cross-validation, with the hybrid model prespecified as the main comparison against the magnitude image-space baseline. Results: At full sampling, the hybrid and image-space models performed similarly. As acceleration increased, the hybrid model retained substantially more segmentation accuracy and significantly outperformed the magnitude image-space baseline across moderate to high undersampling levels. The same pattern was observed when noise was added directly to k-space: the hybrid model degraded more slowly, whereas the image-space baseline failed under heavier noise. This advantage was reproduced in the within-dataset synthetic control. Feature analysis suggested that the k-space stage and image-space stage played complementary roles, with frequency-domain filtering concentrated before image-domain lesion localization. Conclusion: K-space-aware deep learning improves the robustness of breast lesion segmentation under MRI undersampling and k-space noise, while matching image-space methods at full sampling.
