  • 用预训练医学模型+图像增强技术,零样本完成前列腺分割。
  • 边界误差降低45%,Dice达0.865,接近非专家医生水平。
  • 只需粗略框选,适合临床快速部署,无需标注数据。

前列腺癌每80秒夺走一条生命。早期检测需精确界定腺体边界,而传统6-12 MHz超声会模糊边界,漏掉三分之一高危癌症。微超声(29 MHz)分辨率提升三倍,但引入密集噪声斑点,掩盖外壁轮廓;同一图像下,两名医生勾画区域差异超过10%。监督方法成本高且泛化差。本研究提出首个该模态的零样本分割流程:基于150万张医学图像预训练的MedSAM定位前列腺;再通过CLAHE增强边缘、二值膨胀恢复遗漏像素、傅里叶平滑(4模式,s=1.05)优化边界。评估在75例患者(2,621切片)的微超声前列腺分割数据集上,使用边界框与点点击提示。在20例保留测试集上,平均边界距离误差降低45%(Dice从0.749±0.043升至0.865±0.029;HD95从217.2±36.9降至120.1±26.1像素),全队列平均Dice达0.859。其重叠率与三位非专家评分组无显著差异(p>0.19),且分割一致性提升38-52%(患者间标准差更低)。点点击提示无论位置均失效(最高Dice=0.350),因斑点缺乏稳定对比度。仅需近似边界框,任何医院均可部署,无需数据收集、标注或重训练。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Prostate cancer claims a life every 80 seconds. Early detection is needed to prevent disease progression, and both PSA density calculation and biopsy decisions rely on knowing the exact boundary of the gland. Conventional ultrasound at 6-12 MHz blurs this boundary, missing one in three high-risk cancers. Micro-ultrasound (29 MHz) improves resolution threefold but introduces dense acoustic speckle that obscures the outer wall; given the same image, two clinicians draw outlines differing by over 10% in area. Supervised methods are costly and generalise poorly across scanners. Can a foundation model segment the prostate with no training data? We present the first zero-shot pipeline for this modality: MedSAM, pre-trained on over 1.5 million medical images, localises the prostate; we then apply CLAHE to sharpen the outer wall, binary dilation to recover missed pixels, and Fourier smoothing (4 modes, s=1.05) to refine the boundary. MedSAM requires a spatial prompt, so we evaluate bounding-box and point-click strategies across 75 patients of the Micro-Ultrasound Prostate Segmentation dataset (2,621 slices). On the 20-patient held-out test set, the pipeline reduces mean boundary-distance error by 45% (Dice 0.749+/-0.043 to 0.865+/-0.029; HD95 217.2+/-36.9 to 120.1+/-26.1 px), reaching Dice 0.859 across the cohort. Its mean overlap shows no significant difference from the three non-expert rater groups (p>0.19), while segmenting 38-52% more consistently (lower inter-patient standard deviation). Point-click prompts fail regardless of placement (best Dice=0.350), because speckle gives no stable local contrast. Only an approximate bounding box is required, so any clinic can deploy it without data collection, annotation, or retraining.
