• Title: Brain Cancer Survival Prediction on Treatment-na ive MRI using Deep Anchor Attention Learning with Vision Transformer
• Authors: Xuan Xu, Prateek Prasanna
• Abstract summary: Image-based brain cancer prediction models quantify the radiologic phenotype from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Despite evidence of intra-tumor phenotypic heterogeneity, the spatial diversity between different slices within an MRI scan has been relatively unexplored using such methods. We propose a deep anchor attention aggregation strategy with a Vision Transformer to predict survival risk for brain cancer patients.

• Abstract: Image-based brain cancer prediction models, based on radiomics, quantify the radiologic phenotype from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, these features are difficult to reproduce because of variability in acquisition and preprocessing pipelines. Despite evidence of intra-tumor phenotypic heterogeneity, the spatial diversity between different slices within an MRI scan has been relatively unexplored using such methods. In this work, we propose a deep anchor attention aggregation strategy with a Vision Transformer to predict survival risk for brain cancer patients. A Deep Anchor Attention Learning (DAAL) algorithm is proposed to assign different weights to slice-level representations with trainable distance measurements. We evaluated our method on N = 326 MRIs. Our results outperformed attention multiple instance learning-based techniques. DAAL highlights the importance of critical slices and corroborates the clinical intuition that inter-slice spatial diversity can reflect disease severity and is implicated in outcome.

  We propose a novel 3D MRI Harmonization framework through Conditional Latent Diffusion (HCLD) It comprises a generalizable 3D autoencoder that encodes and decodes MRIs through a 4D latent space. HCLD learns the latent distribution and generates harmonized MRIs with anatomical information from source MRIs while conditioned on target image style.

  Off-resonance artifacts in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are visual distortions that occur when the actual resonant frequencies of spins within the imaging volume differ from the expected frequencies used to encode spatial information. We propose to resolve these artifacts by lifting the 2D MRI reconstruction problem to 3D, introducing an additional "spectral" dimension to model this off-resonance.
