- 融合解剖结构概率模型,同步进行组织分割与染料浓度重建
- 相比无先验或分步方法,染料浓度估计误差降低显著
- 适合需要精准组织成分分析的医学影像研究者
准确划分组织并从多光谱光声断层扫描(MSOT)图像中重构其光吸收组分,是光声成像的关键挑战。问题源于组织内光通量分布依赖于光谱光学特性,导致逆问题本质不适定。现有研究缺乏利用先验概率解剖知识来指导组织分割和染色组分推断,且多数方法采用分步处理,易造成误差累积。为此,本文提出APRECOT方法,利用解剖结构和组织属性的概率模型,实现组织分割与体积分量重建的联合优化。在仿真数据上的初步验证表明,引入概率解剖上下文可显著提高体积分量估计精度,优于不使用解剖先验或采用顺序策略的基准方法。该工作为实现直接输出临床相关参数(如组织氧合动态、病理性组织成分变化)的MSOT成像模式迈出关键一步。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurately delineating tissues and reconstructing their chromophore compositions from Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) images is a key challenge in optoacoustic imaging. The difficulty arises because light fluence distributions within tissue intrinsically depend on spectral optical properties, making the inverse problem inherently ill-posed. Currently, there is a lack of studies leveraging a priori probabilistic anatomical knowledge to guide tissue segmentation and infer chromophore composition. Moreover, most current studies address these two tasks sequentially, which can result in errors accumulating. through the process. To address these issues, we present Anatomical Priors for Reconstruction of Optoacoustic Tomography (APRECOT), a method that leverages probabilistic models of anatomical structures and tissue properties, to enable simultaneous segmentation of tissues and reconstruction of their bulk chromophore compositions. In this proof-of-concept using in-silico data, we show that incorporating probabilistic anatomical context strongly improves the accuracy of bulk chromophore concentration estimation compared to reference methods that do not use any anatomical context or use sequential strategies. This work represents an essential step towards an MSOT imaging mode that directly provides clinically relevant information, such as imaging tissue oxygenation dynamics or disease-related changes in tissue composition.
