统一分割与测量胎儿肢体超声图像,提升先天畸形检测精度
UniFLM: United Segmentation and Measurement on Fetal Limb Ultrasonic Image

- 设计统一框架,融合语义感知跳跃连接与正样本采样策略
- 在FLB数据集上实现毫米级骨长测量,准确率优于现有模型
- 适合医学影像分析、产前诊断与人工智能辅助诊疗场景
产前超声检查对评估胎儿肢体发育和发现先天畸形至关重要。然而,现有人工智能模型因缺乏高质量标注数据及多长骨统一框架,常忽略胎儿致死性骨骼发育不良。同时,通用分割模型难以应对超声图像中的固有噪声与语义鸿沟。为此,我们构建了包含肱骨、股骨、胫腓骨及桡尺骨的高质标注数据集FLB。提出UniFLM统一框架,实现跨平面自动分割与测量。该框架引入语义感知跳跃连接以弥合编码器与解码器特征间的语义差距,并采用正样本采样策略自适应过滤噪声、提取关键语义信息。此外,设计点回归映射模块学习临床标注模式,实现精确骨长测量。在FLB数据集上的大量实验表明,UniFLM在胎儿长骨评估中显著优于当前最优模型,具有更高的精度与泛化能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Prenatal ultrasound examination is crucial for assessing fetal limb development and detecting congenital anomalies. However, existing artificial intelligence models often overlook fetal lethal skeletal dysplasias due to the lack of high-quality annotated data and a unified framework for multiple long bones. Moreover, generic segmentation models struggle with the inherent noise and semantic gaps in ultrasound images. To address these challenges, we construct the Fetal Limb Bones (FLB) dataset, comprising high-quality annotations for the humerus, femur, tibia-fibula, and radius-ulna. Furthermore, we propose UniFLM, a unified framework for automatic cross-plane segmentation and measurement. UniFLM incorporates a Semantic-Aware Skip Connection module to bridge the semantic gap between encoder and decoder features, and a Positive Sampling strategy to adaptively filter noise and extract essential semantic information. Finally, a Point Regression Mapping module is introduced to learn clinician annotation patterns for precise bone length measurement. Extensive experiments conducted on the FLB dataset demonstrate that the proposed UniFLM achieves superior accuracy and enhanced generalization capabilities in fetal long bone assessment compared to current state-of-the-art models.
