• Abstract: The ability to determine if the brain is developing normally is a key component of pediatric neuroradiology and neurology. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of infants demonstrates a specific pattern of development beyond simply myelination. While radiologists have used myelination patterns, brain morphology and size characteristics in determining if brain maturity matches the chronological age of the patient, this requires years of experience with pediatric neuroradiology. Due to the lack of standardized criteria, estimation of brain maturity before age three remains fraught with interobserver and intraobserver variability. An objective measure of brain developmental age estimation (BDAE) could be a useful tool in helping physicians identify developmental delay as well as other neurological diseases. We investigated a three-dimensional convolutional neural network (3D CNN) to rapidly classify brain developmental age using common MRI sequences. MRI datasets from normal newborns were obtained from the National Institute of Mental Health Data Archive from birth to 3 years. We developed a BDAE method using T1-weighted, as well as a fusion of T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and proton density (PD) sequences from 112 individual subjects using 3D CNN. We achieved a precision of 94.8% and a recall of 93.5% in utilizing multiple MRI sequences in determining BDAE.

  Black-box machine learning approaches to brain age gap prediction have limited practical utility. We apply the VNN-based approach to study brain age gap using cortical thickness features for various prevalent neurodegenerative conditions. Our results reveal distinct anatomic patterns for brain age gap in Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, and atypical Parkinsonian disorders.

  Brain Age Gap Estimation (BrainAGE) offers a neuroimaging biomarker for understanding brain age. Current approaches primarily use T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (T1w MRI) data, capturing only structural brain information. We developed a deep learning model using a VGG-based architecture for both modalities and combined their predictions using linear regression. Our model achieved a mean absolute error (MAE) of 3.95 years and an $R2$ of 0.943 on the test set, outperforming existing models trained on similar data.

  Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of infants demonstrates a specific pattern of development beyond myelination. With no standardized criteria, visual estimation of the structural maturity of the brain from MRI before three years of age remains dominated by inter-observer and intra-observer variability. We explore the general feasibility to tackle this task, and the utility of different approaches, including two- and three-dimensional convolutional neural networks (CNN) In the best performing approach, we achieved an accuracy of 0.90 [95% CI:0.86-0.94] using a 2D CNN on a central axial thick slab.
