Reliability-Aware CT-MRI Registration: A Quality Engineering Framework with Stability Analysis and Risk Classification

  • 用学习到的阈值将配准质量分为绿黄红三类风险等级
  • 非刚性配准使绿色可靠结果占比达44%,高于刚性配准的33%
  • 适用于需高可靠性保障的放疗与手术导航场景

多模态CT-MRI配准在放射治疗、手术导航和诊断中至关重要,但现有流程仅提供总体质量指标,缺乏个体病例的可靠性信号。本文提出一种可靠性感知框架,基于数据学习的阈值将配准质量划分为绿/黄/红三级风险。使用刚性与仿射变换,在18名患者(涵盖脑、腹、颈部解剖)的90对配准切片上进行配准。通过Delta NMI、Delta SSIM、Dice重叠、注册稳定性及逆一致性误差综合生成可靠性评分R。训练集学习的阈值直接应用于测试集。仿射配准在NMI与SSIM上优于刚性配准,绿色分类率达44%(刚性为33%)。经可靠性筛选的配准显著提升平均配准精度。按解剖部位分析显示,腹部配准可靠性明显高于脑部。权重敏感性分析表明,Dice重叠是影响可靠性的主导因素。该框架为多模态配准提供了可解释的质量控制层,但风险阈值基于统计而非临床验证。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Multimodal CT-MRI registration is central to image-guided radiotherapy, surgical navigation, and diagnostic workflows, but most pipelines report only aggregate quality metrics without per-case reliability signals. We propose a reliability-aware framework that converts registration quality into Green/Yellow/Red risk categories using data-learned thresholds. CT images were registered to T1-weighted MRI using rigid and affine transformations on 90 paired slices from 18 patients across brain, abdominal, and neck anatomies. Reliability was assessed using Delta NMI, Delta SSIM, Dice overlap, registration stability, and inverse consistency error, combined into a single score R. Thresholds learned from training patients were applied unchanged to held-out test patients. Affine registration outperformed rigid registration on NMI and SSIM, yielding 44% Green classifications versus 33% for rigid. Reliability-filtered registrations improved the average alignment profile compared with unfiltered methods. Per-anatomy analysis showed substantial variation, with stronger reliability for abdominal registrations than brain registrations. Weight sensitivity analysis identified Dice overlap as the dominant reliability component. The proposed framework provides an interpretable quality-control layer for multimodal registration, while risk thresholds reflect statistical rather than clinical validation.
