利用对侧乳腺作参考,提升乳腺MRI分类准确性
PRISM-Net: Patient-specific reference-guided inter-breast symmetry matching for three-class breast DCE-MRI classification

- 以对侧乳腺为患者特异性参考,建立双侧自适应对应关系
- 在ODeLIA数据集上,宏观AUC达84.11,优于现有方法
- 适合需要精准区分良恶性病灶的临床影像分析场景
乳腺DCE-MRI人工智能正从传统病灶中心诊断转向乳腺层面分类(无病灶、良性、恶性)。然而,患者间背景差异仍是主要干扰因素。现有方法多聚焦单侧或病灶中心分析,双侧方法缺乏对空间自适应跨侧对应关系的显式建模。本文提出PRISM-Net,一种无需配准的双侧框架,利用对侧乳腺特征作为患者特异性参考,实现背景感知的表征学习。该模型融合双侧特征匹配与不对称感知注意力机制,建立自适应双侧对应关系,增强对判别性不对称模式的表征。在ODeLIA数据集上,分布内测试的宏平均AUC为84.11±2.33,微平均AUC为90.64±1.61,加权κ系数为60.94±5.64;外机构验证集上分别为68.51±4.54、80.74±2.68、43.45±7.10,均优于对比基线。消融实验表明,双侧关系建模与不对称重加权均显著提升性能。结果表明,患者特异性双侧参考建模是提升DCE-MRI判读的临床可行策略,通过显式建模背景复杂性改善不对称模式识别。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Breast DCE-MRI AI is increasingly being explored for breast-level classification of no-lesion, benign, and malignant findings, beyond conventional lesion-centered diagnosis. Within this broader diagnostic scope, however, patient-specific background variability remains a major source of imaging confounding across classification tasks. Existing approaches predominantly focus on unilateral or lesion-centric analysis, whereas bilateral methods offer limited explicit modeling of spatially adaptive cross-breast correspondence. We propose PRISM-Net, a registration-free bilateral framework that leverages contralateral breast features as patient-specific references for background-aware representation learning. PRISM-Net integrates bilateral feature matching and asymmetry-aware attention to establish adaptive inter-breast correspondence and enhance representations of discriminative asymmetric patterns. On ODELIA, Macro AUC, Micro AUC, and quadratic weighted kappa were $84.11 \pm 2.33$, $90.64 \pm 1.61$, and $60.94 \pm 5.64$ on the in-distribution test set, and $68.51 \pm 4.54$, $80.74 \pm 2.68$, and $43.45 \pm 7.10$ on the held-out institution, respectively, outperforming the evaluated baseline methods across the primary evaluation metrics. PRISM-Net further demonstrated performance on independent institutional and background-complexity evaluations. Ablation experiments revealed that both bilateral relation modeling and asymmetry-aware reweighting contributed to improved classification performance. These findings highlight patient-specific bilateral reference modeling as a clinically grounded strategy for DCE-MRI interpretation, improving asymmetric pattern discrimination through explicit modeling of background complexity.
