  • 适合医学影像分析与放射组学研究者参考使用。

全身扩散加权成像(WB-DWI)广泛用于多发性骨髓瘤(MM)评估,但自动化病灶分割仍面临解剖边界模糊和骨髓高信号特异性低的挑战。现有研究引入骨骼感兴趣区(ROI)和表观扩散系数(ADC)图以缓解歧义,但实际应用受限:骨骼ROI构建常依赖昂贵的人工标注、图像配准或专用骨模型;而ADC通常仅通过简单通道拼接融合,难以提供互补的结构与病灶区分信息。为此,本文提出两阶段框架:第一阶段训练一个无需专用骨标签的骨骼ROI生成模型,从ADC图中高效获取解剖先验;第二阶段提出解剖引导的多模态U-Net(AMU-Net),以符合临床评估逻辑的方式利用ADC,而非将其视为通用辅助模态。大量实验表明该方法有效且实用,在对比方法中取得最佳性能,平均Dice系数达76.2%。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Whole-body diffusion-weighted imaging (WB-DWI) is widely used for multiple myeloma (MM) assessment, yet automated lesion segmentation remains challenging due to limited anatomical delineation and the low specificity of marrow hyperintensity. Existing studies have introduced bone region-of-interest (ROI) information and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps to mitigate these ambiguities, but practical limitations remain. Bone ROI construction often relies on costly manual annotation, image registration, or dedicated bone models, while ADC is usually incorporated only through simple channel fusion, limiting its ability to provide complementary structural and lesion-discriminative cues. To address these limitations, we propose a two-stage framework for MM lesion segmentation on WB-DWI. In the first stage, we train a bone ROI generation model from ADC images without dedicated bone labels, providing an efficient and practical anatomical prior for lesion analysis. In the second stage, we propose Anatomy-guided Multimodal U-Net (AMU-Net), which leverages ADC in a manner consistent with clinical lesion assessment rather than treating it as a generic auxiliary modality. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and practicality of the proposed method. It achieves the best overall performance among the evaluated methods, with a mean Dice score of 76.2%.
