摘要:

可形变图像配准通过空间变换估计图像之间的体素级对应关系,在医学成像中发挥着关键作用。虽然深度学习方法已显著缩短了运行时间,但高效处理大形变仍是一项具有挑战性的任务。卷积网络聚合局部特征,但缺乏对体素对应关系的直接建模,这促使近期研究探索显式特征匹配。其中,体素到区域匹配通过在邻域内计算局部相关特征,在直接对应建模方面更为高效,而区域到区域匹配由于跨大区域产生过多相关对,导致更高的冗余。然而,体素到区域匹配固有的局部性阻碍了捕获大形变所需的长距离对应关系。为解决此问题,我们提出了一种基于循环相关的框架,该框架动态地将匹配区域重新定位到更有希望的位置。在每一步中,以低成本执行局部匹配,估计的偏移引导下一个搜索区域,从而支持向大形变高效收敛。此外,我们使用了一个具有记忆能力的轻量级循环更新模块,并解耦运动相关特征和纹理特征以抑制语义冗余。我们在脑部MRI和腹部CT数据集上进行了广泛实验,包括有无仿射预配准两种设置。结果表明,我们的方法展现出强大的精度-计算权衡,超越或匹配了最先进的性能。例如,在非仿射OASIS数据集上,它取得了与RDP(一种代表性高性能方法)相当的性能,而仅使用其9.5%的FLOPs,运行速度快96%。

英文摘要:

Deformable image registration estimates voxel-wise correspondences between images through spatial transformations, and plays a key role in medical imaging. While deep learning methods have significantly reduced runtime, efficiently handling large deformations remains a challenging task. Convolutional networks aggregate local features but lack direct modeling of voxel correspondences, promoting recent works to explore explicit feature matching. Among them, voxel-to-region matching is more efficient for direct correspondence modeling by computing local correlation features whithin neighbourhoods, while region-to-region matching incurs higher redundancy due to excessive correlation pairs across large regions. However, the inherent locality of voxel-to-region matching hinders the capture of long-range correspondences required for large deformations. To address this, we propose a Recurrent Correlation-based framework that dynamically relocates the matching region toward more promising positions. At each step, local matching is performed with low cost, and the estimated offset guides the next search region, supporting efficient convergence toward large deformations. In addition, we uses a lightweight recurrent update module with memory capacity and decouples motion-related and texture features to suppress semantic redundancy. We conduct extensive experiments on brain MRI and abdominal CT datasets under two settings: with and without affine pre-registration. Results show that our method exibits a strong accuracy-computation trade-off, surpassing or matching the state-of-the-art performance. For example, it achieves comparable performance on the non-affine OASIS dataset, while using only 9.5% of the FLOPs and running 96% faster than RDP, a representative high-performing method.
