Enhancing brain age estimation with structural MRI and synthesized cerebral blood volume maps

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The study presents a multimodal BrainAGE framework that fuses structural T1-weighted MRI with DeepCBV maps—vascular information synthesized from non‑contrast MRI—to estimate brain age more accurately. Using two separate 3D convolutional neural networks, the combined model achieved a mean absolute error of 3.95 years on cognitively normal controls, outperforming single‑modality models. Saliency analyses showed MRI highlighted white matter and cortical atrophy, while DeepCBV emphasized vascular‑rich regions, and the integrated approach revealed stronger differentiation between stable and progressive MCI, indicating sensitivity to early vascular changes.

3D MRI-Based Alzheimer's Disease Classification Using Multi-Modal 3D CNN with Leakage-Aware Subject-Level Evaluation

The paper presents a multimodal 3D convolutional neural network that classifies Alzheimer’s disease using raw OASIS 1 MRI volumes. It fuses structural T1 images with gray matter, white matter, and cerebrospinal fluid probability maps to capture complementary neuroanatomical information. Evaluated with 5‑fold subject‑level cross‑validation, the model achieves a mean accuracy of 72.34 % and an ROC AUC of 0.7781, with GradCAM visualizations highlighting anatomically relevant regions such as the medial temporal lobe and ventricles.

BrainNorm: A Foundation Model that knows Normal via Semantic Atlas Pretraining

BrainNorm is a normative foundation model trained on about 66,000 T1-weighted structural MRI scans. It uses language‑image style contrastive pretraining to create a Semantic Atlas Latent space (SAL), where each scan is encoded as atlas‑parcel embeddings that capture healthy aging trajectories. The model supports age‑consistent template matching, localized deviation scoring, and zero‑shot disease prediction, outperforming nine baselines across multiple downstream tasks and aligning its deviation patterns with known neurodegeneration pathology.
