- Abstract: Lesion detection in brain Magnetic Resonance Images (MRIs) remains a
challenging task. MRIs are typically read and interpreted by domain experts,
which is a tedious and time-consuming process. Recently, unsupervised anomaly
detection (UAD) in brain MRI with deep learning has shown promising results to
provide a quick, initial assessment. So far, these methods only rely on the
visual appearance of healthy brain anatomy for anomaly detection. Another
biomarker for abnormal brain development is the deviation between the brain age
and the chronological age, which is unexplored in combination with UAD. We
propose deep learning for UAD in 3D brain MRI considering additional age
information. We analyze the value of age information during training, as an
additional anomaly score, and systematically study several architecture
concepts. Based on our analysis, we propose a novel deep learning approach for
UAD with multi-task age prediction. We use clinical T1-weighted MRIs of 1735
healthy subjects and the publicly available BraTs 2019 data set for our study.
Our novel approach significantly improves UAD performance with an AUC of 92.60%
compared to an AUC-score of 84.37% using previous approaches without age
information.
