• 一种基于特征上下文理解与切片分析的肺结核检测算法

    A feature-oriented context understanding and slice analysis network for tuberculosis detection

    • 结核病在X射线计算机断层成像影像(computed tomography, CT)中常呈现多灶性、多形态病灶特征,临床诊断需综合评估多种类型及数量的病灶表现。为此,设计了一种基于特征上下文理解与切片分析的肺结核检测算法,旨在实现结核检测的二分类。该算法将图神经网络与多示例学习相结合,构建了包含以下核心模块的检测框架:特征标签嵌入模块,将病灶标签与图像特征融合,增强模型对病灶的表征能力;语义-空间图模块,采用图结构同时建模切片间的空间位置关系和深层语义关联,有效捕获多灶性分布特征;全局信息注意力模块,利用多示例网络聚合所有实例信息并学习整个包的嵌入表示,并获得最终分类结果。结果表明,该算法在性能评估中取得准确率96.3%、受试者工作特征曲线下面积(area under the receiver operating characteristic curve,AUC)值99.1%的优异表现,显著优于传统3D分类网络。

       

      Abstract: Pulmonary tuberculosis typically presents as multifocal and pleomorphic lesions on X-ray computed tomography (CT) images, necessitating a comprehensive assessment of multiple lesion types and quantities in clinical diagnosis. To address this complexity, this paper designs a pulmonary tuberculosis detection algorithm based on feature context understanding and slice analysis, aiming to achieve binary classification of tuberculosis detection. The algorithm integrates graph neural networks with multiple instance learning, constructing a detection framework comprising the following core modules: a feature-label embedding module that fuses lesion labels with image features to enhance the model's representational capacity for lesions; a semantic-spatial graph module that employs graph structures to simultaneously model both the spatial positional relationships and deep semantic associations among slices, effectively capturing multifocal distribution characteristics; and a global information attention module that leverages a multiple instance network to aggregate all instance information and learn the embedding representation of the entire bag, ultimately yielding the final classification result. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves outstanding performance with an accuracy of 96.3% and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 99.1%, significantly outperforming conventional 3D classification networks.
