• Abstract summary: We present a state-of-the-art, open source, ready-to-use, deep learning based hippocampus segmentation method. It uses an extended 2D multi-orientation approach, with automatic pre-processing and orientation alignment. We show that our method, while trained only in HarP, surpasses others from the literature in both the HarP test set and HCUnicamp in Dice.

• Abstract: Hippocampus segmentation on magnetic resonance imaging is of key importance for the diagnosis, treatment decision and investigation of neuropsychiatric disorders. Automatic segmentation is an active research field, with many recent models using deep learning. Most current state-of-the art hippocampus segmentation methods train their methods on healthy or Alzheimer's disease patients from public datasets. This raises the question whether these methods are capable of recognizing the hippocampus on a different domain, that of epilepsy patients with hippocampus resection. In this paper we present a state-of-the-art, open source, ready-to-use, deep learning based hippocampus segmentation method. It uses an extended 2D multi-orientation approach, with automatic pre-processing and orientation alignment. The methodology was developed and validated using HarP, a public Alzheimer's disease hippocampus segmentation dataset. We test this methodology alongside other recent deep learning methods, in two domains: The HarP test set and an in-house epilepsy dataset, containing hippocampus resections, named HCUnicamp. We show that our method, while trained only in HarP, surpasses others from the literature in both the HarP test set and HCUnicamp in Dice. Additionally, Results from training and testing in HCUnicamp volumes are also reported separately, alongside comparisons between training and testing in epilepsy and Alzheimer's data and vice versa. Although current state-of-the-art methods, including our own, achieve upwards of 0.9 Dice in HarP, all tested methods, including our own, produced false positives in HCUnicamp resection regions, showing that there is still room for improvement for hippocampus segmentation methods when resection is involved.

  We propose a novel parameter-efficient fine-tuning strategy, termed HyPS, which employs a hybrid parallel and serial architecture. HyPS updates a minimal subset of model parameters, thereby retaining the pre-trained model's original knowledge tructure. In distinguishing Alzheimer's disease from cognitively normal (CN) individuals, HyPS achieved classification accuracies of 83.78% and 64.29%, respectively.

Our model distinguishes between age groups and disease status in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) using the hippocampus data. This research provides valuable insights into the relationship between neurological disorder and hippocampal shape changes in different age groups of MS populations.

  White matter parcellation classifies tractography streamlines into clusters or anatomically meaningful tracts. Most parcellation methods focus on the deep white matter (DWM), whereas fewer methods address the superficial white matter (SWM) due to its complexity. We propose a novel two-stage deep-learning-based framework, Superficial White Matter Analysis (SupWMA), that performs an efficient parcellation of 198 SWM clusters from whole-brain tractography.

SpineOne is built upon the following three key techniques: 1) a new design of the keypoint heatmap to facilitate simultaneous keypoint localization and classification; 2) the use of attention modules to better differentiate the representations between discs and vertebrae; and 3) a novel gradient-guided objective association mechanism to associate multiple learning objectives at the later training stage.
