MetaVoxel: Joint Diffusion Modeling of Imaging and Clinical Metadata
Yihao Liu, Chenyu Gao, Lianrui Zuo +9
Modern deep learning methods have achieved impressive results across tasks from disease classification, estimating continuous biomarkers, to generating realistic medical images. Mo…
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…
Polyhedra Encoding Transformers: Enhancing Diffusion MRI Analysis Beyond Voxel and Volumetric Embedding
Tianyuan Yao, Zhiyuan Li, Praitayini Kanakaraj +6
Diffusion-weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI) is an essential tool in neuroimaging. It is arguably the sole noninvasive technique for examining the microstructural propertie…
