准确的肿瘤定位与诊断对脑癌临床诊疗至关重要。磁共振成像(MRI)因优异的软组织对比度被广泛使用,但常规MRI常存在对比度不足和伪影问题,需依赖造影剂提升病灶可见性。然而,肾功能不全等患者可能无法使用化学造影剂。因此,发展高精度、无创的对比增强MRI(CEMRI)合成方法具有重要临床价值。近年来,大量基于生成式AI的方法被提出,但其依赖隐式特征学习,常难以保持解剖边界与肿瘤细结构。为此,本文提出一种解剖感知的频域-结构引导视觉变换器(AA-ViT),利用T1、T2和FLAIR前对比MRI模态合成CEMRI。在BraTS 2021数据集上的实验表明,该方法有效保留解剖与病灶边界,取得更高PSNR与SSIM。三位神经放射科医生及一位神经外科医生对19例不同胶质瘤病例进行盲评,平均得分3.94/5,提供罕见的初步临床验证。本模型生成的后对比扫描可降低检查成本、缩短成像时间,并规避钆基造影剂潜在风险。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate tumour localization and diagnosis is a critical component of clinical care for brain cancers. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the most commonly used imaging modality due to its superior soft-tissue contrast. However, standard MRI often exhibits limited contrast and imaging artifacts, which necessitates the use of contrast agents to enhance lesion visibility. The administration of chemical contrast agents is not always feasible and may be contraindicated in patients with renal impairment or other health conditions. As a result, developing accurate and non-invasive contrast enhanced MRI (CEMRI) synthesis methods has clinical importance. In recent years, numerous approaches for CEMRI synthesis have been proposed, predominantly relying on generative artificial intelligence models. While these methods demonstrate promising performance, their dependence on implicit feature learning often limits their ability to preserve anatomical boundaries and tumour-specific fine structures. To address these challenges, we propose an anatomically aware frequency-and-structure-guided vision transformer (AA-ViT), for CEMRI synthesis using pre-contrast MRI modalities (T1, T2, and FLAIR). Experiments on the BraTS 2021 dataset demonstrate that the proposed method preserves anatomical and lesion boundaries, achieving higher PSNR and SSIM than state-of-the-art approaches. Clinical evaluation by three neuroradiologists and a neurosurgeon on 19 randomly selected cases across diverse gliomas yielded a mean score of 3.94/5, providing preliminary clinical validation rarely seen in prior studies. Synthetic post-contrast scans from our model could lower scanning costs, shorten imaging time, and avoid the potential risks of using gadolinium-based contrast agents.
