  • 基于周围解剖结构的3D向量场迭代优化网格位置
  • 在高分辨率与稀疏标注数据上均显著提升分割精度
  • 适合弱初始分割或小样本场景,可推广至其他器官

在心脏CT图像中准确勾画心包膜对量化心外脂肪组织至关重要,但因其边界对比度差而难以分割。本文提出一种新型3D迭代网格精修框架,不依赖单纯图像梯度,而是融合周围解剖结构的先验知识,通过内在解剖规则生成的解剖力与几何力平衡,将初始模糊分割逐步修正为高精度、解剖合理的结果。该方法为模型无关的后处理步骤,采用3D向量场逐点推动顶点至正确解剖位置。在自建高分辨率数据集和公开的粗粒度稀疏标注数据集上评估,均持续提升体积、表面及解剖学指标。尤其在初始分割较弱时改善更明显,表明其在跨域模型和低训练数据场景中的潜力。方法基于梯度计算并支持GPU加速,易于拓展至其他解剖结构应用。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Accurate delineation of the pericardium in a cardiac CT scan is essential for quantifying epicardial adipose tissue, yet it remains one of the most challenging structures to segment due to its poor contrast boundaries. Instead of solely relying on image gradients, our framework leverages the anatomical context of surrounding anatomical structures to guide the segmentation. This work introduces a novel 3D iterative mesh refinement framework that balances anatomical and geometric forces derived from inherent anatomical rules to refine an initial, possibly ambiguous, segmentation into a high-precision, anatomically plausible result. Designed as a model-agnostic post-processing step, our method uses a 3D vector field to iteratively push the vertices to the correct anatomical locations. Evaluating the refinement on both a high-resolution in-house dataset and a coarse, sparsely annotated open-source dataset, our method consistently improves all volumetric, surface, and anatomical metrics. The framework demonstrates greater improvement when applied to weaker initial segmentations, highlighting its potential for improving segmentations for out-of-domain models and in limited-training-data scenarios. The method is formulated as a gradient-based, GPU-accelerated framework that can be easily extended to other anatomical use cases.
