Concurrently, deep learning methods have revolutionized image segmentation, a task closely related to voxel-based multiple testing. In this paper, we propose DeepFDR, a novel spatial FDR control method that leverages unsupervised deep learning-based image segmentation to address the voxel-based multiple testing problem. Numerical studies, including comprehensive simulations and Alzheimer's disease FDG-PET image analysis, demonstrate DeepFDR's superiority over existing methods.

Such 6D data naturally arises in diffusion MRI (dMRI), a medical imaging modality widely used to measure microstructure and structural connectivity. As each dMRI voxel is typically a mixture of various overlapping structures, there is a need for blind deconvolution to recover crossing anatomical structures such as white matter tracts. Existing dMRI work takes either an iterative or deep learning approach to sparse spherical deconvolution, yet it typically does not account for relationships between neighboring measurements. This work constructs equivariant deep learning layers which respect to symmetries of spatial rotations, reflections, and translations, alongside the symmetries of voxelwise spherical rotations. As a result, RT-ESD improves on previous work across several tasks including fiber recovery on the DiSCo dataset, deconvolution-derived partial volume estimation on real-world <i>in vivo</i> human brain dMRI, and improved downstream reconstruction of fiber tractograms on the Tractometer dataset.

Unfortunately, due to imaging restrictions, the more routinely used hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) stain is typically unavailable with MxIF on the same tissue section. As biological H&E staining is not feasible, previous efforts have been made to obtain H&E whole slide image (WSI) from MxIF via deep learning empowered virtual staining. However, the tiling effect is a long-lasting problem in high-resolution WSI-wise synthesis. The MxIF to H&E synthesis is no exception. Limited by computational resources, the cross-stain image synthesis is typically performed at the patch-level. Thus, discontinuous intensities might be visually identified along with the patch boundaries assembling all individual patches back to a WSI. In this work, we propose a deep learning based unpaired high-resolution image synthesis method to obtain virtual H&E WSIs from MxIF WSIs (each with 27 markers/stains) with reduced tiling effects. Briefly, we first extend the CycleGAN framework by adding simultaneous nuclei and mucin segmentation supervision as spatial constraints. Then, we introduce a random walk sliding window shifting strategy during the optimized inference stage, to alleviate the tiling effects. The validation results show that our spatially constrained synthesis method achieves a 56% performance gain for the downstream cell segmentation task. The proposed inference method reduces the tiling effects by using 50% fewer computation resources without compromising performance.

We introduce GANcMRI, a generative adversarial network that can synthesize cMRI videos with physiological guidance based on latent space prompting. GANcMRI uses a StyleGAN framework to learn the latent space from individual video frames and leverages the timedependent trajectory between end-systolic and end-diastolic frames in the latent space to predict progression and generate motion over time. We proposed various methods for modeling latent time-dependent trajectories and found that our Frame-to-frame approach generates the best motion and video quality. GANcMRI generated high-quality cMRI image frames that are indistinguishable by cardiologists, however, artifacts in video generation allow cardiologists to still recognize the difference between real and generated videos.

Several deep learning-based approaches have been developed to predict 3D LMA maps of LV myocardium from a stack of sparse 2D cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs). However, these models often loosely consider the geometric shape structure of the myocardium. This makes the reconstructed activation maps suboptimal; hence leading to a reduced accuracy of predicting the late activating regions of hearts. In this paper, we propose to use shape-constrained diffusion models to better reconstruct a 3D LMA map, given a limited number of 2D cardiac MRI slices. In contrast to previous methods that primarily rely on spatial correlations of image intensities for 3D reconstruction, our model leverages object shape as priors learned from the training data to guide the reconstruction process. To achieve this, we develop a joint learning network that simultaneously learns a mean shape under deformation models. Each reconstructed image is then considered as a deformed variant of the mean shape. To validate the performance of our model, we train and test the proposed framework on a publicly available mesh dataset of 3D myocardium and compare it with state-of-the-art deep learning-based reconstruction models.

We create a corpus of patient hospital admissions and summaries for a cohort of HIV patients, each with complex medical histories. Annotators are presented with summaries and source notes, and asked to categorize manually highlighted summary elements (clinical entities like conditions and medications as well as actions like \"following up\") into one of three categories: \"Incorrect,\" \"Missing,\" and \"Not in Notes.\" We meta-evaluate a broad set of faithfulness metrics-proposed for the general NLP domain-by measuring the correlation of metric scores to clinician ratings.
