Abstract
En 中文
Near-infrared diffuse optical tomography (DOT) is a promising functional modality for breast cancer imaging; however, the clinical translation of DOT is hampered by technical limitations. Specifically, conventional finite element method (FEM)-based optical image reconstruction approaches are time-consuming and ineffective in recovering full lesion contrast. To address this, we developed a deep learning-based reconstruction model (FDU-Net) comprised of a Fully connected subnet, followed by a convolutional encoder-Decoder subnet, and a U-Net for fast, end-to-end 3D DOT image reconstruction. The FDU-Net was trained on digital phantoms that include randomly located singular spherical inclusions of various sizes and contrasts. Reconstruction performance was evaluated in 400 simulated cases with realistic noise profiles for the FDU-Net and conventional FEM approaches. Our results show that the overall quality of images reconstructed by FDU-Net is significantly improved compared to FEM-based methods and a previously proposed deep-learning network. Importantly, once trained, FDU-Net demonstrates substantially better capability to recover true inclusion contrast and location without using any inclusion information during reconstruction. The model was also generalizable to multi-focal and irregularly shaped inclusions unseen during training. Finally, FDU-Net, trained on simulated data, could successfully reconstruct a breast tumor from a real patient measurement. Overall, our deep learning-based approach demonstrates marked superiority over the conventional DOT image reconstruction methods while also offering over four orders of magnitude acceleration in computational time. Once adapted to the clinical breast imaging workflow, FDU-Net has the potential to provide real-time accurate lesion characterization by DOT to assist the clinical diagnosis and management of breast cancer.
