Enhanced structural brain connectivity analyses using high diffusion-weighting strengths

Yu, Leyao; Flinker, Adeen; Veraart, Jelle
Tractography is a unique modality for the in vivo measurement of structural connectivity, crucial for understanding brain networks and neurological conditions. With increasing b-value, the diffusion-weighting signal becomes primarily sensitive to the intra-axonal signal. However, it remains unclear how tractography is affected by this observation. Here, using open-source datasets, we showed that at high b-values, DWI reduces the uncertainty in estimating fiber orientations. Specifically, we found the ratio of biologically-meaningful longer-range connections increases, accompanied with downstream impact of redistribution of connectome and network metrics. However, when going beyond b = 6000 s/mm2, the loss of SNR imposed a penalty. Lastly, we showed that the data reaches satisfactory reproducibility with b-values above 1200 s/mm2. Overall, the results suggest that using b-values above 2500 s/mm2 is essential for more accurate connectome reconstruction by reducing uncertainty in fiber orientation estimation, supporting the use of higher b-value protocols in standard diffusion MRI scans and pipelines.

Multimodal generative AI for interpreting 3D medical images and videos

Lee, Jung-Oh; Zhou, Hong-Yu; Berzin, Tyler M; Sodickson, Daniel K; Rajpurkar, Pranav
This perspective proposes adapting video-text generative AI to 3D medical imaging (CT/MRI) and medical videos (endoscopy/laparoscopy) by treating 3D images as videos. The approach leverages modern video models to analyze multiple sequences simultaneously and provide real-time AI assistance during procedures. The paper examines medical imaging's unique characteristics (synergistic information, metadata, and world model), outlines applications in automated reporting, case retrieval, and education, and addresses challenges of limited datasets, benchmarks, and specialized training.

Mediterranean and standard American diet consumption in psychosis and non-psychosis affective disorders groups: Symptoms and cognition

Koralnik, Lauren R; Lafont, Ezequiel; Akerele, Christa; Bonner, Mharisi; Musselman, Audrey; Ruby, Eugene; Gonen, Oded; Lotan, Eyal; Lee, Jakleen; Clemente, Jose C; Robinson-Papp, Jessica; Weissman, Judith; Walsh-Messinger, Julie; Malaspina, Dolores
UNLABELLED:Research supports an association between diet and health, and emerging evidence suggests that diet is associated with neuropsychiatric symptoms. However, no human study has examined an anti-inflammatory diet across rigorously defined psychiatric diagnoses and its associations with symptom severity and cognition. As inflammation is implicated in mental illness, we investigated adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD), an anti-inflammatory diet, and the standard American diet (SAD), and examined cross-sectional relationships with psychiatric symptoms and cognition. METHOD/METHODS:Participants included 54 individuals with psychotic disorders, 30 with non-psychosis affective disorders and 40 healthy controls. Participants underwent diagnostic interviews, PANSS symptom ratings, and MATRICS cognitive assessments. The self-report GBAQ was used to assess adherence to the MD versus SAD. RESULTS:The psychosis group was significantly more likely to consume the SAD than healthy controls (p = 0.007), with MD adherence predicting better working memory (r = 0.461, p < 0.001). In the non-psychosis affective disorders group, MD adherence predicted slower processing speed (r = -0.376, p = 0.049). In the non-psychosis affective disorders group, MD predicted reduced PANSS General Psychopathology scale (r = -0.449, p = 0.013), as well as the Activation (r = -0.362, p = 0.049), and Dysphoric Mood factors (r = -0.403, p = 0.027). DISCUSSION/CONCLUSIONS:This first-of-its kind study identified poor dietary choices in persons with psychosis, showing significantly lower symptoms and better cognition in association with the MD in transdiagnostic analyses. It supports the study of dietary interventions for prevention and treatment of psychiatric conditions.

Multiparametric MRI Can Detect Enhanced Myelination in the Ex Vivo Gli1-/- Mouse Brain

Lee, Choong H; Holloman, Mara; Salzer, James L; Zhang, Jiangyang
This study investigated the potential of combining multiple MR parameters to enhance the characterization of myelin in the mouse brain. We collected ex vivo multiparametric MR data at 7 T from control and Gli1-/- mice; the latter exhibit enhanced myelination at Postnatal Day 10 (P10) in the corpus callosum and cortex. The MR data included relaxivity, magnetization transfer, and diffusion measurements, each targeting distinct myelin properties. This analysis was followed by and compared to myelin basic protein (MBP) staining of the same samples. Although a majority of the MR parameters included in this study showed significant differences in the corpus callosum between the control and Gli1-/- mice, only T2, T1/T2, and radial diffusivity (RD) demonstrated a significant correlation with MBP values. Based on data from the corpus callosum, partial least square regression suggested that combining T2, T1/T2, and inhomogeneous magnetization transfer ratio could explain approximately 80% of the variance in the MBP values. Myelin predictions based on these three parameters yielded stronger correlations with the MBP values in the P10 mouse brain corpus callosum than any single MR parameter. In the motor cortex, combining T2, T1/T2, and radial kurtosis could explain over 90% of the variance in the MBP values at P10. This study demonstrates the utility of multiparametric MRI in improving the detection of myelin changes in the mouse brain.

Chaudhary, Suneeta; Lane, Elizabeth G; Levy, Allison; McGrath, Anika; Mema, Eralda; Reichmann, Melissa; Dodelzon, Katerina; Simon, Katherine; Chang, Eileen; Nickel, Marcel Dominik; Moy, Linda; Drotman, Michele; Kim, Sungheon Gene
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE:To develop a deep learning-based method for robust and rapid estimation of the fatty acid composition (FAC) in mammary adipose tissue. METHODS:A physics-based unsupervised deep learning network for estimation of fatty acid composition-network (FAC-Net) is proposed to estimate the number of double bonds and number of methylene-interrupted double bonds from multi-echo bipolar gradient-echo data, which are subsequently converted to saturated, mono-unsaturated, and poly-unsaturated fatty acids. The loss function was based on a 10 fat peak signal model. The proposed network was tested with a phantom containing eight oils with different FAC and on post-menopausal women scanned using a whole-body 3T MRI system between February 2022 and January 2024. The post-menopausal women included a control group (n = 8) with average risk for breast cancer and a cancer group (n = 7) with biopsy-proven breast cancer. RESULTS: > 0.9 except chain length). The FAC values measured from scan and rescan data of the control group showed no significant difference between the two scans. The FAC measurements of the cancer group conducted before contrast and after contrast showed a significant difference in saturated fatty acid and mono-unsaturated fatty acid. The cancer group has higher saturated fatty acid than the control group, although not statistically significant. CONCLUSION/CONCLUSIONS:The results in this study suggest that the proposed FAC-Net can be used to measure the FAC of mammary adipose tissue from gradient-echo MRI data of the breast.

Opportunistic Assessment of Abdominal Aortic Calcification using Artificial Intelligence (AI) Predicts Coronary Artery Disease and Cardiovascular Events

Berger, Jeffrey S; Lyu, Chen; Iturrate, Eduardo; Westerhoff, Malte; Gyftopoulos, Soterios; Dane, Bari; Zhong, Judy; Recht, Michael; Bredella, Miriam A
BACKGROUND:Abdominal computed tomography (CT) is commonly performed in adults. Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) can be visualized and quantified using artificial intelligence (AI) on CTs performed for other clinical purposes (opportunistic CT). We sought to investigate the value of AI-enabled AAC quantification as a predictor of coronary artery disease and its association with cardiovascular events. METHODS:A fully automated AI algorithm to quantify AAC from the diaphragm to aortic bifurcation using the Agatston score was retrospectively applied to a cohort of patient that underwent both non-contrast abdominal CT for routine clinical care and cardiac CT for coronary artery calcification (CAC) assessment. Subjects were followed for a median of 36 months for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE, composite of death, myocardial infarction [MI], ischemic stroke, coronary revascularization) and major coronary events (MCE, MI or coronary revascularization). RESULTS:Our cohort included 3599 patients (median age 60 years, 62% male, 74% white) with an evaluable abdominal and cardiac CT. There was a positive correlation between presence and severity of AAC and CAC (r=0.56, P<0.001). AAC showed excellent discriminatory power for detecting or ruling out any CAC (AUC for PREVENT risk score 0.701 [0.683 to 0.718]; AUC for PREVENT plus AAC 0.782 [0.767 to 0.797]; P<0.001). There were 324 MACE, of which 246 were MCE. Following adjustment for the 10-year cardiovascular disease PREVENT score, the presence of AAC was associated with a significant risk of MACE (adjHR 2.26, 95% CI 1.67-3.07, P<0.001) and MCE (adjHR 2.58, 95% CI 1.80-3.71, P<0.001). A doubling of the AAC score resulted in an 11% increase in the risk of MACE and a 13% increase in the risk of MCE. CONCLUSIONS:Using opportunistic abdominal CTs, assessment of AAC using a fully automated AI algorithm, predicted CAC and was independently associated with cardiovascular events. These data support the use of opportunistic imaging for cardiovascular risk assessment. Future studies should investigate whether opportunistic imaging can help guide appropriate cardiovascular prevention strategies.

Prostate Cancer Risk Stratification and Scan Tailoring Using Deep Learning on Abbreviated Prostate MRI

Johnson, Patricia M; Dutt, Tarun; Ginocchio, Luke A; Saimbhi, Amanpreet Singh; Umapathy, Lavanya; Block, Kai Tobias; Sodickson, Daniel K; Chopra, Sumit; Tong, Angela; Chandarana, Hersh
BACKGROUND:MRI plays a critical role in prostate cancer (PCa) detection and management. Bi-parametric MRI (bpMRI) offers a faster, contrast-free alternative to multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI). Routine use of mpMRI for all patients may not be necessary, and a tailored imaging approach (bpMRI or mpMRI) based on individual risk might optimize resource utilization. PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE:To develop and evaluate a deep learning (DL) model for classifying clinically significant PCa (csPCa) using bpMRI and to assess its potential for optimizing MRI protocol selection by recommending the additional sequences of mpMRI only when beneficial. STUDY TYPE/METHODS:Retrospective and prospective. POPULATION/METHODS:The DL model was trained and validated on 26,129 prostate MRI studies. A retrospective cohort of 151 patients (mean age 65 ± 8) with ground-truth verification from biopsy, prostatectomy, or long-term follow-up, alongside a prospective cohort of 142 treatment-naïve patients (mean age 65 ± 9) undergoing bpMRI, was evaluated. FIELD STRENGTH/SEQUENCE/UNASSIGNED:3 T, Turbo-spin echo T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) and single shot EPI diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI). ASSESSMENT/RESULTS:The DL model, based on a 3D ResNet-50 architecture, classified csPCa using PI-RADS ≥ 3 and Gleason ≥ 7 as outcome measures. The model was evaluated on a prospective cohort labeled by consensus of three radiologists and a retrospective cohort with ground truth verification based on biopsy or long-term follow-up. Real-time inference was tested on an automated MRI workflow, providing classification results directly at the scanner. STATISTICAL TESTS/METHODS:AUROC with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was used to evaluate model performance. RESULTS:In the prospective cohort, the model achieved an AUC of 0.83 (95% CI: 0.77-0.89) for PI-RADS ≥ 3 classification, with 93% sensitivity and 54% specificity. In the retrospective cohort, the model achieved an AUC of 0.86 (95% CI: 0.80-0.91) for Gleason ≥ 7 classification, with 93% sensitivity and 62% specificity. Real-time implementation demonstrated a processing latency of 14-16 s for protocol recommendations. DATA CONCLUSION/CONCLUSIONS:The proposed DL model identifies csPCa using bpMRI and integrates it into clinical workflows. EVIDENCE LEVEL/METHODS:1. TECHNICAL EFFICACY/UNASSIGNED:Stage 2.

Quantifying axonal features of human superficial white matter from three-dimensional multibeam serial electron microscopy data assisted by deep learning

Tian, Qiyuan; Ngamsombat, Chanon; Lee, Hong-Hsi; Berger, Daniel R; Wu, Yuelong; Fan, Qiuyun; Bilgic, Berkin; Li, Ziyu; Novikov, Dmitry S; Fieremans, Els; Rosen, Bruce R; Lichtman, Jeff W; Huang, Susie Y
Short-range association fibers located in the superficial white matter play an important role in mediating higher-order cognitive function in humans. Detailed morphological characterization of short-range association fibers at the microscopic level promises to yield important insights into the axonal features driving cortico-cortical connectivity in the human brain yet has been difficult to achieve to date due to the challenges of imaging at nanometer-scale resolution over large tissue volumes. This work presents results from multi-beam scanning electron microscopy (EM) data acquired at 4 × 4 × 33 nm3 resolution in a volume of human superficial white matter measuring 200 × 200 × 112 μm (Braitenberg and Schüz, 2013), leveraging automated analysis methods. Myelin and myelinated axons were automatically segmented using deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), assisted by transfer learning and dropout regularization techniques. A total of 128,285 myelinated axons were segmented, of which 70,321 and 2,102 were longer than 10 and 100 μm, respectively. Marked local variations in diameter (i.e., beading) and direction (i.e., undulation) were observed along the length of individual axons. Myelinated axons longer than 10 μm had inner diameters around 0.5 µm, outer diameters around 1 µm, and g-ratios around 0.5. This work fills a gap in knowledge of axonal morphometry in the superficial white matter and provides a large 3D human EM dataset and accurate segmentation results for a variety of future studies in different fields.
