Abstract

This study introduces a physics-guided deep learning architecture designed for the simulation, reconstruction, and pattern recognition of biomedical images. By explicitly integrating physical priors into the learning model, the framework addresses the black-box nature of traditional artificial intelligence (AI). It provides an explainable AI pathway that enhances diagnostic accuracy, robustness, and clinical interpretation. The proposed framework was evaluated through systematic simulation studies. It involved complex geometric configurations, multimodal physical fields, and noise-corrupted synthetic three-dimensional brain volumes. Quantitative analysis demonstrates consistent improvements in reconstruction fidelity, with the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) reaching 47 dB and the structural similarity index exceeding 0.90 across all scenarios. Notably, at moderate noise levels (0.05), the framework maintains a PSNR greater than 32 dB, ensuring structural integrity essential for computer-aided diagnosis. Volumetric brain experiments further reveal a 38–44% reduction in activation localization errors, highlighting the framework’s utility in functional imaging and disease prognosis. By grounding deep learning in physical constraints, this study provides a transparent and robust solution for automated disease classification and advanced biomedical imaging tasks within clinical decision support systems.
