    Abstract The segmentation of cardiac structure in magnetic resonance images (CMR) is paramount in diagnosing and managing cardiovascular illnesses, given its 3D+Time (3D+T) sequence. The existing deep learning methods are constrained in their ability to 3D+T CMR segmentation, due to: (1) Limited motion perception. The complexity of heart beating renders the motion perception in 3D+T CMR, including the long-range and cross-slice motions. The existing methods' local perception and slice-fixed perception directly limit the performance of 3D+T CMR perception. (2) Lack of labels. Due to the expensive labeling cost of the 3D+T CMR sequence, the labels of 3D+T CMR only contain the end-diastolic and end-systolic frames. The incomplete labeling scheme causes inefficient supervision. Hence, we propose a novel spatio-temporal adaptation network with clinical prior embedding learning (STANet) to ensure efficient spatio-temporal perception and optimization on 3D+T CMR segmentation. (1) A spatio-temporal adaptive convolution (STAC) treats the 3D+T CMR sequence as a whole for perception. The long-distance motion correlation is embedded into the structural perception by learnable weight regularization to balance long-range motion perception. The structural similarity is measured by cross-attention to adaptively correlate the cross-slice motion. (2) A clinical prior embedding learning strategy (CPE) is proposed to optimize the partially labeled 3D+T CMR segmentation dynamically by embedding clinical priors into optimization. STANet achieves outstanding performance with Dice of 0.917 and 0.94 on two public datasets (ACDC and STACOM), which indicates STANet has the potential to be incorporated into computer-aided diagnosis tools for clinical application.

    Abstract We present a novel deep learning-based framework: Embedded Feature Similarity Optimization with Specific Parameter Initialization (SOPI) for 2D/3D medical image registration which is a most challenging problem due to the difficulty such as dimensional mismatch, heavy computation load and lack of golden evaluation standard. The framework we design includes a parameter specification module to efficiently choose initialization pose parameter and a fine-registration module to align images. The proposed framework takes extracting multi-scale features into consideration using a novel composite connection encoder with special training techniques. We compare the method with both learning-based methods and optimization-based methods on a in-house CT/X-ray dataset as well as simulated data to further evaluate performance. Our experiments demonstrate that the method in this paper has improved the registration performance, and thereby outperforms the existing methods in terms of accuracy and running time. We also show the potential of the proposed method as an initial pose estimator. The code is available at https://github.com/m1nhengChen/SOPI

    Abstract Background: Most studies have detected abnormalities of static topological characteristics in major depressive disorder (MDD). However, whether dynamic alternations in brain topology are influenced by MDD remains unknown.
    Methods: An approach was proposed to capture the dynamic topological characteristics with sliding-window and graph theory for a large data sample from the REST-meta-MDD project.
    Results: It was shown that patients with MDD were characterized by decreased nodal efficiency of the left orbitofrontal cortex. The temporal variability of topological characteristics was focused on the left opercular part of inferior frontal gyrus, and the right part of middle frontal gyrus, inferior parietal gyrus, precuneus and thalamus.
    Limitations: Future studies need larger and diverse samples to explore the relationship between dynamic topological network characteristics and MDD symptoms.
    Conclusions: The results support that the altered dynamic topology in cortex of frontal and parietal lobes and thalamus during resting-state activity may be involved in the neuropathological mechanism of MDD.

    Abstract Vertebrae identification in arbitrary fields-of-view plays a crucial role in diagnosing spine disease. Most spine CT contain only local regions, such as the neck, chest, and abdomen. Therefore, identification should not depend on specific vertebrae or a particular number of vertebrae being visible. Existing methods at the spine-level are unable to meet this challenge. In this paper, we propose a three-stage method to address the challenges in 3D CT vertebrae identification at vertebrae-level. By sequentially performing the tasks of vertebrae localization, segmentation, and identification, the anatomical prior information of the vertebrae is effectively utilized throughout the process. Specifically, we introduce a dual-factor density clustering algorithm to acquire localization information for individual vertebra, thereby facilitating subsequent segmentation and identification processes. In addition, to tackle the issue of interclass similarity and intra-class variability, we pre-train our identification network by using a supervised contrastive learning method. To further optimize the identification results, we estimated the uncertainty of the classification network and utilized the message fusion module to combine the uncertainty scores, while aggregating global information about the spine. Our method achieves state-of-the-art results on the VerSe19 and VerSe20 challenge benchmarks. Additionally, our approach demonstrates outstanding generalization performance on an collected dataset containing a wide range of abnormal cases.

    Abstract Purpose: Radiotherapy planning incorporating functional lung images has the potential to reduce pulmonary toxicity. Free-breathing 4DCT-derived ventilation image (CTVI) may help quantify lung function. This study introduces a novel deep-learning model directly translating planning CT images into CTVI. We investigated the accuracy of generated images and the impact on functional avoidance planning.
    Materials and methods: Paired planning CT and 4DCT scans from 48 patients with NSCLC were randomized to training (n = 41) and testing (n = 7) data sets. The ventilation maps were generated from 4DCT using a Jacobian-based algorithm to provide ground truth labels (CTVI

    Abstract Background: Major depressive episode (MDE) is the main clinical feature of mood disorders (major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder) in adolescents and young adults and accounts for most of the disease course. However, 30%-40% of MDE patients not responding to clinical first-line interventions. It is crucial to predict treatment response in the early stages and identify biomarkers associated with treatment response. Graph Isomorphism Network (GIN), a deep learning method, is promising for predicting treatment response for individual MDE patients with more powerful representation ability to capture the features of brain functional connectivity.
    Methods: In this study, GIN was used to predict individual treatment response in 198 adolescents and young adults with MDE. The most discriminating regions were also identified for the treatment response prediction.
    Results: Using GIN approach, the baseline functional connectivity could predict 79.8% responders and 67.4% non-responders to treatment (accuracy 74.24%). Furthermore, the most discriminating brain regions were mainly involved in paralimbic and subcortical areas.
    Conclusions: GIN has shown potential in predicting treatment response for individual patients, which may enable personalized treatment decisions. Furthermore, targeted interventions focused on modulating the activity and connectivity within paralimbic and subcortical regions could potentially improve treatment outcomes and enable personalized interventions for adolescents and young adults with MDE.

    Abstract Objective: We have recently reported significantly higher DNA methylation in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) exon VI in major depressive disorder (MDD). This study aimed to investigated cortical changes and their associations with DNA methylations in BDNF exon VI in MDD.
    Methods: Data of 93 patients with MDD and 59 controls were involved in statistics. General linear regressions (GLM) were performed to analyze thickness and gyrification changes in MDD and their association with DNA methylation in BDNF exon VI in patients with MDD and controls.
    Results: Significantly decreased cortical thickness (CT) in left lateral orbitofrontal cortex (LOFC), left superior temporal lobe (ST) and right frontal pole (FP) and decreased local gyrification index (lGI) in left superior parietal lobe (SP) were found in MDD. The associations between DNA methylation in 3 CpG sites in BDNF exon VI and lGI in left SP were significantly different in patients and controls. DNA methylations in BDNF132 (β = -0.359, P < 0.001), BDNF137 (β = -0.214, P = 0.032), and BDNF151 (β = -0.223, P = 0.025) were significantly negatively associated with lGI in left SP in MDD.
    Conclusion: The negative association between BDNF exon VI methylation and lGI in left SP might imply a potential epigenetic marker associated with cortical gyrification reduction in patients with MDD.

    Abstract Accurate and robust anatomical landmark localization is a mandatory and crucial step in deformation diagnosis and treatment planning for patients with craniomaxillofacial (CMF) malformations. In this paper, we propose a trainable end-to-end cephalometric landmark localization framework on Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, referred to as CMF-Net, which combines the appearance with transformers, geometric constraint, and adaptive wing (AWing) loss. More precisely: (1) we decompose the localization task into two branches: the appearance branch integrates transformers for identifying the exact positions of candidates, while the geometric constraint branch at low resolution allows the implicit spatial relationships to be effectively learned on the reduced training data. (2) We use the AWing loss to leverage the difference between the pixel values of the target heatmaps and the automatic prediction heatmaps. We verify our CMF-Net by identifying the 24 most relevant clinical landmarks on 150 dental CBCT scans with complicated scenarios collected from real-world clinics. Comprehensive experiments show that it performs better than the state-of-the-art deep learning methods, with an average localization error of 1.108 mm (the clinically acceptable precision range being 1.5 mm) and a correct landmark detection rate equal to 79.28%. Our CMF-Net is time-efficient and able to locate skull landmarks with high accuracy and significant robustness. This approach could be applied in 3D cephalometric measurement, analysis, and surgical planning.

    Abstract: ... of the MCRLN approach for the clinical use in diagnosis. The code is available at https://github.com/LIST-KONG ...

    Abstract The pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD) has been demonstrated to be highly associated with the dysfunctional integration of brain activity. Existing studies only fuse multi-connectivity information in a one-shot approach and ignore the temporal property of functional connectivity. A desired model should utilize the rich information in multiple connectivities to help improve the performance. In this study, we develop a multi-connectivity representation learning framework to integrate multi-connectivity topological representation from structural connectivity, functional connectivity and dynamic functional connectivities for automatic diagnosis of MDD. Briefly, structural graph, static functional graph and dynamic functional graphs are first computed from the diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) and resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI). Secondly, a novel Multi-Connectivity Representation Learning Network (MCRLN) approach is developed to integrate the multiple graphs with modules of structural-functional fusion and static-dynamic fusion. We innovatively design a Structural-Functional Fusion (SFF) module, which decouples graph convolution to capture modality-specific features and modality-shared features separately for an accurate brain region representation. To further integrate the static graphs and dynamic functional graphs, a novel Static-Dynamic Fusion (SDF) module is developed to pass the important connections from static graphs to dynamic graphs via attention values. Finally, the performance of the proposed approach is comprehensively examined with large cohorts of clinical data, which demonstrates its effectiveness in classifying MDD patients. The sound performance suggests the potential of the MCRLN approach for the clinical use in diagnosis. The code is available at https://github.com/LIST-KONG/MultiConnectivity-master.
