患者运动仍是脑部MRI图像退化的主因,导致信号丢失、模糊和几何失真,影响定量分析。现有深度学习方法多依赖成对的清晰-受扰数据或k空间采集,临床难以获取。本文提出SSRL-MAR,一种无需配对训练数据或显式运动标签的运动伪影感知自监督表示学习框架。该方法采用三阶段训练:(1) 在3D图像块上进行对比学习,通过对比清晰与合成受损图像提取运动表征;(2) 设计运动伪影感知生成网络,从清晰扫描中合成伪影;(3) 构建运动伪影感知生成器,利用学习到的退化模型实现自监督恢复。在in-silico数据集上,SSRL-MAR实现PSNR 23.81dB、SSIM 91.55%、NMSE 0.79%。在in-vivo MR-ART数据集上,预训练模型有效减少运动畸变,结合无监督域适应进一步提升解剖保真度。相较于仅基于模拟配对数据的监督模型,经域适应后其PSNR提升达2.0 dB;性能仅比需真实配对数据的基准模型低0.25–0.47 dB。在较轻度运动情况下,胼胝体与脑室系统体积误差降低超50%,证实神经解剖一致性显著改善。结果表明,SSRL-MAR为3D脑MRI运动校正提供了一种鲁棒且可扩展的图像域解决方案,支持大规模神经影像研究中的可靠结构量化,无需前瞻性配对数据或设备特定校准。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Patient motion remains a source of image degradation in brain MRI, leading to signal loss, blurring, and geometric distortion that compromise quantitative analysis. Existing deep learning methods for motion correction typically rely on paired clean-corrupted data or k-space acquisitions, which are rarely available in clinical settings. We propose SSRL-MAR, a motion artifact-aware unpaired representation learning framework for motion artifact reduction that requires neither paired training data nor explicit motion labels. SSRL-MAR employed a three-stage training strategy: (1) contrastive learning on 3D patches to extract motion representations by contrasting clean and synthetically corrupted images, (2) a motion artifact-aware synthesis network to generate motion artifacts from clean scans, and (3) a motion artifact-aware generator to restore clean volumes using the learned degrader for self-supervised supervision. On in-silico dataset, SSRL-MAR achieved PSNR 23.81dB, SSIM 91.55%, and NMSE 0.79%. On in-vivo MR-ART dataset, the pretrained model reduced motion distortion, and unsupervised domain adaptation further improved anatomical fidelity. Against a source-only supervised model trained on the same simulated pairs, SSRL-MAR improved PSNR by up to 2.0 dB on MR-ART after unsupervised domain adaptation, and remained within 0.25-0.47 dB of an oracle supervised model that requires real paired data unavailable in practice. At the milder motion level, volumetric error in structures such as the corpus callosum and ventricular system decreased by more than 50%, confirming improved neuroanatomical consistency. These results indicate that SSRL-MAR provides a robust and scalable image-domain solution for 3D brain MRI motion correction, enabling reliable structural quantification in large-scale neuroimaging studies without requiring prospectively acquired pairs or acquisition-specific calibration.
