  • 通过随机几何生成和强度合成,构建16500个逼真血管图像。
  • 仅用合成数据训练的模型在真实数据上表现接近顶尖水平。
  • 适合医疗影像研究者,尤其缺乏标注数据的场景。

血管分割是血管疾病诊疗与手术规划的核心任务,但专家标注成本高,制约深度学习发展。为此,我们提出VesselSim,一种无需真实标注数据的两阶段3D血管分割框架。首先,设计一种基于随机几何的血管仿真方法,建模递归分支、曲率控制生长与碰撞感知拓扑,并结合领域随机化强度合成,生成16,500个解剖学合理的3D血管造影体积。其次,仅用这些合成数据训练3D U-Net。为弥合合成与真实图像之间的域差异,引入测试时自监督掩码重建解码器进行适配,无需先验域知识即可适应未见过的临床扫描。我们在多个真实数据集(涵盖脑部、肾脏等多部位的MR与CT)上以零样本方式评估,结果表明,尽管训练全程使用合成数据,其性能仍可媲美当前最先进的血管分割基础模型。研究证明,从合成管状结构中学习血管几何具有强跨域泛化能力,显著降低对真实医学影像及专家标注的依赖。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Blood vessel segmentation is a core task in medical image analysis for the care of vascular diseases and surgical planning, yet the challenges of providing expert vascular annotations pose a major obstacle for the progress of related deep learning techniques. To address this, we propose VesselSim, a two-stage framework for universal 3D blood vessel segmentation that eliminates the need for real annotated data during training. First, we introduce a stochastic, geometry-driven vascular simulation framework that models recursive branching, curvature-controlled growth, and collision-aware topology, followed by domain-randomized intensity synthesis to generate 16,500 anatomically plausible 3D angiographic volumes. Second, a 3D U-Net is trained solely on this synthetic data. To bridge the domain gap from synthetic to real images at inference time, we introduce a test-time adaptation strategy via a self-supervised mask reconstruction decoder, enabling adaptation to unseen clinical scans without prior domain knowledge. We evaluate VesselSim in a zero-shot setting on multiple real-world datasets spanning MR and CT across several anatomical regions, including the brain and kidneys. Despite being trained exclusively on synthetic data, VesselSim achieves performance competitive with state-of-the-art vascular segmentation foundation models. These findings suggest that learning vessel geometry from synthetic tubular structures is effective for robust cross-domain generalization, substantially reducing the reliance on acquired medical imaging data and more importantly, expert annotations.
