FORESEE-MS: Toward Prospective Spatial Forecasting of Future Multiple Sclerosis Lesions from Baseline FLAIR MRI

The paper introduces FORESEE-MS, a protocol for evaluating prospective spatial forecasting of future multiple sclerosis lesions using baseline FLAIR MRI. It compares a fold‑specific population‑prior atlas to five deep‑learning models (3D U‑Net, Attn+ResBlock+VAE, ViT, and two SwinUNETR variants) on voxel‑level discrimination (AUROC, AUPRC) and within‑patient lesion localization (Recall@Top‑K%). While the atlas achieved the best pooled AUROC and AUPRC, the 3D U‑Net and Attn+ResBlock+VAE showed higher within‑patient recall, though confidence intervals largely overlapped zero, leaving the benefit of patient‑specific predictive information uncertain in this small cohort.

DiaSeg: Diagonal Segment Extraction from DTW Paths for Interpretable Gait Analysis

DiaSeg extracts diagonal segments from Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) paths, characterizing each with five geometric features to preserve local alignment information. In a study of 91 subjects across six clinical conditions, these segments revealed consistent unsupervised patterns aligned with biomechanical phases and achieved near-perfect separation of healthy and pathological gait. While cycle‑based methods reached higher overall accuracy, DiaSeg offers phase‑specific interpretability, pinpointing where coordination breaks down within the gait cycle.

Comparative evaluation of training strategies using partially labelled datasets for segmentation of white matter hyperintensities and stroke lesions in FLAIR MRI

arXiv:2601. 20503v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) and ischaemic stroke lesions (ISL) are key imaging biomarkers of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) detectable on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
