  • 设计双一致性损失,同时约束预测分布与置信度对齐
  • 5%标注数据下Dice提升2.77%,边界误差减少14.69mm
  • 适合标注稀缺的医学图像分割任务,尤其胎儿超声

产前超声是监测胎儿发育的主要影像手段,但因像素级标注稀缺,自动化分割仍具挑战。为此,我们提出半监督框架DACL,联合训练轻量级卷积网络(1.47M参数)与基于Transformer的网络,利用标注数据进行监督学习,未标注数据通过一致性正则化(CPS)优化。为增强预测稳定性,引入双一致性损失,耦合像素级概率发散与熵引导的置信度对齐。不同于传统CPS仅在预测层面强制一致,DACL显式正则化分布对齐与不确定性,抑制不可靠伪标签,在极端标注稀缺下实现跨架构伪标签学习的稳定。此外,采用mixup插值策略增强未标注样本鲁棒性。在5%标注条件下,相较当前最强半监督方法,DACL Dice最高提升2.77%,HD95降低最多14.69mm,显著改善胎儿头颅与腹部区域的边界分割精度。结果验证了基于一致性的学习在注释高效分割中的有效性。代码已开源。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Maternal-fetal US is the primary imaging modality for monitoring fetal development, yet accurate automated segmentation remains challenging due to the scarcity of pixel-level annotations. To address this issue, we propose DACL, a semi-supervised framework for robust fetal US image segmentation. DACL jointly trains a deployment-oriented lightweight convolutional network (1.47\thinsp\mathrm{M} parameters) and a Transformer-based network, leveraging labeled data for supervised learning and unlabeled data via CPS. To enhance prediction stability, we introduce a dual-agreement consistency loss that couples pixel-wise probabilistic divergence with entropy-guided confidence alignment. Unlike conventional CPS methods that enforce agreement only at the prediction level, DACL explicitly regularizes both distributional alignment and uncertainty, thereby suppressing unreliable pseudo-labels and enabling stable cross-architecture pseudo-label learning under extreme annotation scarcity. Furthermore, an interpolation-based consistency strategy using mixup is applied to unlabeled samples to enhance robustness. Under 5% labeled data, DACL improves Dice by up to 2.77% and reduces HD95 by up to 14.69 mm compared with the strongest recent semi-supervised methods, demonstrating significant improvements in boundary accuracy on both fetal head and abdomen datasets. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of agreement-based consistency learning for annotation-efficient fetal US segmentation. Our code is on GitHub.
