- 分离骨-软组织界面与体积分解,提升训练稳定性
- 40例临床数据验证,表面精度与物理一致性双优
- 比有限元方法快得多,适合手术实时规划
预测患者特异性面部软组织形变对正颌手术的迭代规划至关重要。然而,现有计算方法面临精度与效率的严格权衡:高保真有限元方法(FEM)计算成本过高,纯深度学习模型常产生生物力学不一致的结果。尽管物理信息神经网络(PINNs)前景广阔,但仅依靠部分临床监督(即外面部表面)学习复杂的异质性骨-软组织相互作用仍极不稳定。为此,我们提出PINNOCHIO,一种新型物理信息框架,用于面部软组织仿真。PINNOCHIO引入混合序列分解,显式解耦不连续的骨-软组织界面运动与连续的体积超弹性形变。这种结构分离实现了稳定训练,并支持物理驱动的仿真到现实适应策略,确保内部生物力学一致性,无需体积真值标注。在40例临床队列上评估,PINNOCHIO在表面精度和物理有效性上均优于现有基线。此外,其显著加速于FEM,成功解决精度-效率权衡问题,为交互式手术规划提供高度可靠且实用的工具。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Predicting patient-specific facial soft-tissue deformation is critical for iterative orthognathic surgery planning. However, current computational methods face a strict accuracy-efficiency trade-off: high-fidelity Finite Element Methods (FEM) are computationally prohibitive, whereas pure deep learning models often produce biomechanically inconsistent results. While Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) offer a promising avenue, learning the complex heterogeneous mechanics of bone--soft-tissue interactions with only partial clinical supervision (i.e., outer facial surfaces) remains highly unstable. To overcome these challenges, we present PINNOCHIO, a novel physics-informed framework for facial soft-tissue simulation. PINNOCHIO introduces a hybrid sequential decomposition that explicitly decouples discontinuous bone--soft-tissue interface movements from continuous volumetric hyperelastic deformation. This structural separation enables stable training and facilitates a physics-enabled sim-to-real adaptation strategy, ensuring internal biomechanical consistency without requiring volumetric ground truth. Evaluated on a 40-patient clinical cohort, PINNOCHIO outperforms existing baselines in both surface accuracy and physical validity. Furthermore, it achieves a substantial speedup over FEM, successfully resolving the accuracy-efficiency trade-off to provide a highly reliable and practical tool for interactive surgical planning.
