  • 结合总变差与ℓp范数构建新型结构化先验
  • 后验密度更集中,方差更小,偏差更低
  • 适合需要可靠图像估计与不确定量化的研究者

本文提出一个扩展的结构化空间先验族,将总变差(TV)函数与ℓp范数相结合。该先验被证明是合适的,并融入贝叶斯回归框架,实现对T1映射中不确定性量化的支持,后验推断采用无需回退采样器(NUTS)。TV--ℓp结构被证明构成一组定义良好的先验分布,自然强制参数图的空间一致性与平滑变化。方法在合成脑和心脏T1映射数据集以及真实体内乳腺T1映射数据集上进行评估,对比最大似然估计及基于均匀、伽马和有界TV的几种贝叶斯先验。结果表明,TV--ℓp先验产生更集中的后验密度,表示不确定性更小;且一致地降低方差并减小负偏差,带来更可靠的估计。总体而言,在贝叶斯模型中嵌入基于TV的结构化惩罚与ℓp范数,可增强T1图的空间一致性并改善不确定性量化,为带不确定性的T1映射提供稳健方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We propose an extended family of structured spatial priors that incorporates the total variation (TV) function with $\ell_p$ norms. The prior is proven to be proper and incorporated into a Bayesian regression framework to enable uncertainty quantification in $T_1$ mapping, with posterior inference performed using the No-U-Turn Sampler (NUTS). This TV--$\ell_p$ construction is proven to constitute a well-defined family of prior distributions, and it naturally enforces spatial consistency and smooth variations in the estimated parameter maps. The method was evaluated in comparison to maximum-likelihood estimation and several Bayesian alternative priors based on the uniform, Gamma, and bounded TV priors. The evaluation includes experiments on synthetic brain and cardiac $T_1$ mapping datasets, as well as a real in-vivo breast $T_1$ mapping dataset. The results show that the TV--$\ell_p$ prior yields more concentrated posterior densities, indicating reduced uncertainty. It also consistently achieves lower variance and smaller (negative) bias, leading to more reliable estimates. Overall, embedding a TV-based structured penalty along with $\ell_p$ norms in a prior in a Bayesian model improves spatial coherence in $T_1$ maps and enhances uncertainty quantification, offering a robust approach for $T_1$ mapping with uncertainties.
