Brain Imaging

Brain Imaging

Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic...

Medical Image Analysis

Background:

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis is challenged by hardware-dependent contrast variations.
Developing generalizable machine learning models for brain MRI requires robust methods to handle diverse image properties.

Purpose of the Study:

To review methods for generalizable machine learning in brain MRI analysis using synthetic data.
To highlight the application of domain randomization for creating adaptable neuroimaging models.

Main Methods:

Training neural networks on diverse synthetic MRI data with randomized contrast properties.
Utilizing domain randomization to improve model robustness across varying MRI contrasts, resolutions, and pathologies.

Main Results:

Developed adaptable models for tasks including segmentation (SynthSeg), skull-stripping (SynthStrip), registration (SynthMorph, EasyReg), super-resolution, and contrast transfer (SynthSR).
Demonstrated that models trained with synthetic data can perform effectively on diverse real-world MRI data without retraining.

Conclusions:

Synthetic data and domain randomization offer a powerful framework for robust and generalizable machine learning in brain MRI.
This methodology significantly reduces the reliance on large labeled datasets, facilitating the analysis of clinical and retrospective MRI data.
