• Abstract: The ability to combine data across scanners and studies is vital for neuroimaging, to increase both statistical power and the representation of biological variability. However, combining datasets across sites leads to two challenges: first, an increase in undesirable non-biological variance due to scanner and acquisition differences - the harmonisation problem - and second, data privacy concerns due to the inherently personal nature of medical imaging data, meaning that sharing them across sites may risk violation of privacy laws. To overcome these restrictions, we propose FedHarmony: a harmonisation framework operating in the federated learning paradigm. We show that to remove the scanner-specific effects, we only need to share the mean and standard deviation of the learned features, helping to protect individual subjects' privacy. We demonstrate our approach across a range of realistic data scenarios, using real multi-site data from the ABIDE dataset, thus showing the potential utility of our method for MRI harmonisation across studies. Our code is available at https://github.com/nkdinsdale/FedHarmony.

Differentially private (DP) data publishing provides a compelling solution, where only a sanitized form of the data is publicly released.

  Deep learning models have shown promise for automatically segmenting MS lesions, but the scarcity of accurately annotated data hinders progress in this area. We introduce a Decoupled Hard Label Correction (DHLC) strategy that considers the imbalanced distribution and fuzzy boundaries of MS lesions. We also introduce a Centrally Enhanced Label Correction (CELC) strategy, which leverages the aggregated central model as a correction teacher for all sites.

  Resting-state MRI functional (rs-fMRI) is increasingly employed in multi-site research to aid neurological disorder analysis. Many methods have been proposed to reduce fMRI heterogeneity between source and target domains. But acquiring source data is challenging due to concerns and/or data storage burdens in multi-site studies. We design a source-free collaborative domain adaptation framework for fMRI analysis, where only a pretrained source model and unlabeled target data are accessible.

  In this paper, we take advantage of the inherent properties of neural networks to federate the process of training of survival analysis models. In the realistic setting of small medical datasets and only a few data centers, this noise makes it harder for the models to converge. We propose DPFed-post which adds a post-processing stage to the private federated learning scheme.
