灌注成像通过表征组织水平的血流动力学,为中风和脑肿瘤的临床评估提供依据。常规量化依赖人工选择动脉输入函数(AIF)并进行去卷积,仅生成汇总图谱,缺乏可执行的时间模型以支持仿真或机制洞察。基于示踪剂动力学的模型可推断运输或分室参数,但无法直接输出临床可操作的灌注指标(如脑血流量CBF、脑血容量CBV、平均通过时间MTT),而这些指标对诊断与治疗决策至关重要。本文提出HemoPIC,一种基于物理信息的脑血流数字孪生模型,通过示踪剂质量守恒与集总参数血流动力学模型解释灌注时间序列。具体而言,HemoPIC求解一个约束逆问题,联合估计数字孪生参数与隐状态,消除人工选取AIF与去卷积步骤,直接生成临床可用的灌注汇总图谱。实验表明,HemoPIC能准确重建示踪剂动态,生成生理一致的灌注图谱,体现病灶区域低灌注模式,满足中心容积一致性,并构建可用于前向仿真与反事实干预分析的机制化血流数字孪生。代码已公开于 https://github.com/jhuldr/HemoPIC。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Perfusion imaging guides clinical evaluation of stroke and brain tumors by characterizing tissue-level hemodynamics. Routine quantification relies on manual arterial input function (AIF) selection followed by deconvolution, producing summary maps without an executable temporal model for simulation or mechanistic insight. Tracer-dynamics-based models infer transport or compartmental parameters from perfusion time series, but do not yield clinically actionable perfusion indices (e.g., CBF, CBV, MTT) that inform diagnosis and treatment decisions. In this work, we propose HemoPIC, a physics-informed cerebral hemodynamics digital twin that explains perfusion time series through tracer mass conservation and a lumped parameter hemodynamic model. Specifically, HemoPIC solves a constrained inverse problem that jointly estimates digital twin parameters and latent states from perfusion imaging, eliminating manual AIF selection and deconvolution from routine perfusion quantification while directly producing clinically actionable perfusion summary maps. Experiments demonstrate that HemoPIC reconstructs tracer dynamics, generates physiologically consistent perfusion maps with lesion hypoperfusion patterns, satisfies central volume consistency, and yields a mechanistic hemodynamic digital twin that enables forward simulation and counterfactual intervention analysis.
