DeepPrep: an accelerated, scalable and robust pipeline for neuroimaging preprocessing empowered by deep learning

Neuroimaging has entered the era of big data. However, the advancement of preprocessing pipelines falls behind the rapid expansion of data volume, causing substantial computational challenges. Here we present DeepPrep, a pipeline empowered by deep learning and a workflow manager. Evaluated on over 55,000 scans, DeepPrep demonstrates tenfold acceleration, scalability and robustness compared to the state-of-the-art pipeline, thereby meeting the scalability requirements of neuroimaging.
