With the advent of connectomics, the primary graphs or networks of interest are structural connectome (derived from DTI tractography) and functional connectome (derived from resting-state fMRI). However, most published connectome studies have focused on either structural or functional connectome, yet complementary information between them, when available in the same dataset, can be jointly leveraged to improve our understanding of the brain. To this end, we propose a function-constrained structural graph variational autoencoder (FCS-GVAE) capable of incorporating information from both functional and structural connectome in an unsupervised fashion. This leads to a joint low-dimensional embedding that establishes a unified spatial coordinate system for comparing across different subjects. We evaluate our approach using the publicly available OASIS-3 Alzheimer's disease (AD) dataset and show that a variational formulation is necessary to optimally encode functional brain dynamics. Further, the proposed joint embedding approach can more accurately distinguish different patient sub-populations than approaches that do not use complementary connectome information.","PeriodicalId":94280,"journal":{"name":"Medical image computing and computer-assisted intervention : MICCAI ...

The framework starts with a data augmentation method called Brain-Aware Replacements (BAR), which leverages a standard brain parcellation to replace medically-relevant 3D brain regions in an anchor MRI from a randomly picked MRI to create synthetic samples. Ground truth \"hard\" labels are also linearly mixed depending on the replacement ratio in order to create \"soft\" labels. BAR produces a great variety of realistic-looking synthetic MRIs with higher local variability compared to other mix-based methods, such as CutMix. On top of BAR, we propose using a soft-label-capable supervised contrastive loss, aiming to learn the relative similarity of representations that reflect how mixed are the synthetic MRIs using our soft labels. This way, we do not fully exhaust the entropic capacity of our hard labels, since we only use them to create soft labels and synthetic MRIs through BAR. We show that a model pre-trained using our framework can be further fine-tuned with a cross-entropy loss using the hard labels that were used to create the synthetic samples. We validated the performance of our framework in a binary AD detection task against both from-scratch supervised training and state-of-the-art self-supervised training plus fine-tuning approaches. Then we evaluated BAR's individual performance compared to another mix-based method CutMix by integrating it within our framework. We show that our framework yields superior results in both precision and recall for the AD detection task.","PeriodicalId":94280,"journal":{"name":"Medical image computing and computer-assisted intervention : MICCAI ...

Leveraging weak supervision from readily available data such as radiology reports can compensate lack of large-scale data for anomaly detection methods. However, most of the current methods only use image-level pathological observations, failing to utilize the relevant anatomy mentions in reports. Furthermore, Natural Language Processing (NLP)-mined weak labels are noisy due to label sparsity and linguistic ambiguity. We propose an Anatomy-Guided chest X-ray Network (AGXNet) to address these issues of weak annotation. Our framework consists of a cascade of two networks, one responsible for identifying anatomical abnormalities and the second responsible for pathological observations. The critical component in our framework is an anatomy-guided attention module that aids the downstream observation network in focusing on the relevant anatomical regions generated by the anatomy network. We use Positive Unlabeled (PU) learning to account for the fact that lack of mention does not necessarily mean a negative label. Our quantitative and qualitative results on the MIMIC-CXR dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of AGXNet in disease and anatomical abnormality localization. Experiments on the NIH Chest X-ray dataset show that the learned feature representations are transferable and can achieve the state-of-the-art performances in disease classification and competitive disease localization results.

Prospective cross-site harmonization often involves the use of a phantom or traveling subjects. However, as more datasets are becoming publicly available, there is a growing need for retrospective harmonization, pooling data from sites not originally coordinated together. Several retrospective harmonization techniques have shown promise in removing cross-site image variation. However, most unsupervised methods cannot distinguish between image-acquisition based variability and cross-site population variability, so they require that datasets contain subjects or patient groups with similar clinical or demographic information. To overcome this limitation, we consider cross-site MRI image harmonization as a style transfer problem rather than a domain transfer problem. Using a fully unsupervised deep-learning framework based on a generative adversarial network (GAN), we show that MR images can be harmonized by inserting the style information encoded from a reference image directly, without knowing their site/scanner labels a priori. We trained our model using data from five large-scale multi-site datasets with varied demographics. Results demonstrated that our style-encoding model can harmonize MR images, and match intensity profiles, successfully, without relying on traveling subjects. This model also avoids the need to control for clinical, diagnostic, or demographic information. Moreover, we further demonstrated that if we included diverse enough images into the training set, our method successfully harmonized MR images collected from unseen scanners and protocols, suggesting a promising novel tool for ongoing collaborative studies.","PeriodicalId":94280,"journal":{"name":"Medical image computing and computer-assisted intervention : MICCAI ...

Moreover, even optimal surface registration does not necessarily produce optimal cortical parcellation as parcel boundaries are not fully matched to the geometric features. In this context, a choice of training features is important for accurate cortical parcellation. To utilize the networks efficiently, we propose cortical parcellation-specific input data from an irregular and complicated structure of cortical surfaces. To this end, we align ground-truth cortical parcel boundaries and use their resulting deformation fields to generate new pairs of deformed geometric features and parcellation maps. To extend the capability of the networks, we then smoothly morph cortical geometric features and parcellation maps using the intermediate deformation fields. We validate our method on 427 adult brains for 49 labels.

This is because large, annotated medical datasets are not only difficult and costly to generate, but also quickly become obsolete due to rapid advances in imaging technology. Image-to-image conditional generative adversarial networks (C-GAN) provide a potential solution for data augmentation. However, annotations used as inputs to C-GAN are typically based only on shape information, which can result in undesirable intensity distributions in the resulting artificially-created images. In this paper, we introduce an active cell appearance model (ACAM) that can measure statistical distributions of shape and intensity and use this ACAM model to guide C-GAN to generate more realistic images, which we call A-GAN. A-GAN provides an effective means for conveying anisotropic intensity information to C-GAN. A-GAN incorporates a statistical model (ACAM) to determine how transformations are applied for data augmentation. Traditional approaches for data augmentation that are based on arbitrary transformations might lead to unrealistic shape variations in an augmented dataset that are not representative of real data. A-GAN is designed to ameliorate this. To validate the effectiveness of using A-GAN for data augmentation, we assessed its performance on cell analysis in adaptive optics retinal imaging, which is a rapidly-changing medical imaging modality. Compared to C-GAN, A-GAN achieved stability in fewer iterations. The cell detection and segmentation accuracy when assisted by A-GAN augmentation was higher than that achieved with C-GAN. These findings demonstrate the potential for A-GAN to substantially improve existing data augmentation methods in medical image analysis.","PeriodicalId":94280,"journal":{"name":"Medical image computing and computer-assisted intervention : MICCAI ...

Both detection results of the two networks are fused together as the initialization of a conditional random field (CRF) framework to obtain the final segmentation output.
