Uncertainty Estimation in Contrast-Enhanced MR Image Translation with Multi-Axis Fusion
In recent years, deep learning has been applied to a wide range of medical imaging and image processing tasks. In this work, we focus on the estimation of epistemic uncertainty for 3D medical image-to-image translation. We propose a novel model uncertainty quantification method, Multi-Axis Fusion (MAF), which relies on the integration of complementary information derived from multiple views on volumetric image data. The proposed approach is applied to the task of synthesizing contrast enhanced T1-weighted images based on native T1, T2 and T2-FLAIR scans. The quantitative findings indicate a strong correlation ($\rho_{\text healthy} = 0.89$) between the mean absolute image synthetization error and the mean uncertainty score for our MAF method. Hence, we consider MAF as a promising approach to solve the highly relevant task of detecting synthetization failures at inference time.
