• Abstract: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological condition characterized by the development of lesions in the white matter of the brain. T2-fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides superior visualization and characterization of MS lesions, relative to other MRI modalities. Follow-up brain FLAIR MRI in MS provides helpful information for clinicians towards monitoring disease progression. In this study, we propose a novel modification to generative adversarial networks (GANs) to predict future lesion-specific FLAIR MRI for MS at fixed time intervals. We use supervised guided attention and dilated convolutions in the discriminator, which supports making an informed prediction of whether the generated images are real or not based on attention to the lesion area, which in turn has potential to help improve the generator to predict the lesion area of future examinations more accurately. We compared our method to several baselines and one state-of-art CF-SAGAN model [1]. In conclusion, our results indicate that the proposed method achieves higher accuracy and reduces the standard deviation of the prediction errors in the lesion area compared with other models with similar overall performance.

  Temporally-Aware Diffusion Model (TADM) learns the distribution of structural changes in terms of intensity differences between scans. During training, we propose to leverage a pre-trained Brain-Age Estimator (BAE) to refine the model's training process. Our approach will benefit applications, such as predicting patient outcomes or improving treatments for patients.

  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.

  We present a weakly supervised method to generate a healthy version of a diseased image and then use it to obtain a pixel-wise anomaly map. We employ a diffusion model trained on healthy samples and combine Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model (DDPM) and Denoising Implicit Model (DDIM) at each step of the sampling process. We verify that when our method is applied to healthy samples, the input images are reconstructed without significant modifications.

  Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic progressive neurological disease characterized by the development of lesions in the white matter of the brain. FLAIR brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides superior visualization and characterization of MS lesions, relative to other MRI modalities. Longitudinal brain FLAIR MRI in MS, involving repetitively imaging a patient over time, provides helpful information for clinicians towards monitoring disease progression. Predicting future whole brain MRI examinations with variable time lag has only been attempted in limited applications, such as healthy aging and structural degeneration in Alzheimer's Disease.
