Large-Scale Deployment and Analytical Implications of Structured Quality Control in Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Michael E. Kim, Chenyu Gao, Karthik Ramadass +17
Purpose: Diffusion MRI (dMRI) provides a diverse set of quantitative measures and derived datatypes to assess white matter microstructure and macrostructure. Coupled with the incre…
Unsupervised learning of acquisition variability in structural connectomes via hybrid latent space modeling
Gaurav Rudravaram, Lianrui Zuo, Karthik Ramadass +17
Acquisition differences across sites, scanners, and protocols in dMRI introduce variability that complicates structural connectome analysis. This motivates deep learning models tha…
Characterizing Continuous and Discrete Hybrid Latent Spaces for Structural Connectomes
Gaurav Rudravaram, Lianrui Zuo, Adam M. Saunders +12
Structural connectomes are detailed graphs that map how different brain regions are physically connected, offering critical insight into aging, cognition, and neurodegenerative dis…
Pitfalls of defacing whole-head MRI: re-identification risk with diffusion models and compromised research potential
Chenyu Gao, Kaiwen Xu, Michael E. Kim +11
Defacing is often applied to head magnetic resonance image (MRI) datasets prior to public release to address privacy concerns. The alteration of facial and nearby voxels has provok…
Brain age identification from diffusion MRI synergistically predicts neurodegenerative disease
Chenyu Gao, Michael E. Kim, Karthik Ramadass +27
Estimated brain age from magnetic resonance image (MRI) and its deviation from chronological age can provide early insights into potential neurodegenerative diseases, supporting ea…
Multi-Modality Conditioned Variational U-Net for Field-of-View Extension in Brain Diffusion MRI
Zhiyuan Li, Chenyu Gao, Praitayini Kanakaraj +13
An incomplete field-of-view (FOV) in diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) can severely hinder the volumetric and bundle analyses of whole-brain white matter connectivity. Al…
