DA-UCT: Self-Supervised Domain-Adaptive Ultrasound Computed Tomography for Rapid Musculoskeletal Sound Speed Reconstruction
- 分两阶段自监督学习,用仿真数据预训练后适配真实人体数据。
- 重建速度达每帧5毫秒,比传统方法快10万倍,保持高保真度。
- 仅调3%参数即可媲美全量微调,适合临床多场景快速部署。
超声计算机断层成像(UCT)通过全波形反演(FWI)可实现组织定量成像,但面临计算量大和收敛困难问题。深度学习虽能加速,但依赖大量真实标注数据,难以获取。为此,提出SDA-UCT:一种两阶段自监督域适应框架,采用注意力增强网络(AttUCT)在仿真数据上预训练,并通过物理引导的自监督学习迁移到真实数据,有效弥合仿真与真实之间的域差距。引入低秩适配(LoRA)机制,实现高效跨场景适应。结果表明,AttUCT在模拟人前臂上重建声速(SOS)的峰值信噪比达29.23 dB,结构相似性为0.928,优于传统FWI及现有深度学习方法。在真实数据验证中,成功重建出皮肤、脂肪、肌肉、肌腱、骨骼及骨髓等复杂解剖结构,与MRI参考高度一致。仅调整3%参数即达到全量微调性能,单帧重建时间仅5毫秒,实现实时3D可视化,较传统FWI提升五数量级。该工作首次实现自监督域适应的快速高分辨率原位UCT成像,具有肌骨疾病诊断潜力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Ultrasound computed tomography (UCT) via full waveform inversion (FWI) enables high-resolution quantitative imaging for tissue characterization and disease diagnosis. However, UCT suffers from large computational burden and severe convergence issues due to highly nonlinear optimization. Deep learning can accelerate UCT reconstruction, but supervised training requires large-scale labeled datasets difficult to obtain in vivo. To address these limitations, we propose SDA-UCT, a two-stage self-supervised domain-adaptive framework for rapid and accurate UCT imaging of musculoskeletal tissues. SDA-UCT employs an attention-enhanced network (AttUCT) pre-trained on simulation datasets and transfers to in-vivo data via physics-informed self-supervised learning, effectively bridging the simulation-to-real domain gap. A Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) mechanism is integrated to enable efficient adaptation across diverse clinical scenarios. Results showed that AttUCT achieved high-quality SOS reconstruction for simulated human forearm with a PSNR of 29.23 dB and SSIM of 0.928, outperforming conventional FWI and existing deep learning methods. Validated on in-vivo data, SDA-UCT successfully reconstructed SOS images revealing complex anatomical structures (skin, fat, muscle, tendon, bone and bone marrow) for human forearm, in high concordance with MRI references. The LoRA mechanism adjusting only 3% of parameters achieved comparable performance to full fine-tuning. The rapid reconstruction (5 ms per frame) enables real-time 3D visualization, achieving five-orders-of-magnitude improvement over traditional FWI. This work represents the first self-supervised domain-adaptive deep learning for rapid, high-resolution in-vivo UCT imaging, showing potential for musculoskeletal disease diagnosis.
