• Abstract summary: We propose a novel 3D-Wise-Aware Gate network (TW-BAG) for inpainting disrupted Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DTI) slices. We evaluated the proposed method on the publicly available Human Connectome Project (HCP) dataset. Our experimental results show that the proposed approach can reconstruct the original brain DTI volume and recover relevant clinical imaging information.

• Abstract: Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) is an advanced imaging technique commonly used in neuroscience and neurological clinical research through a Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) model. Volumetric scalar metrics including fractional anisotropy, mean diffusivity, and axial diffusivity can be derived from the DTI model to summarise water diffusivity and other quantitative microstructural information for clinical studies. However, clinical practice constraints can lead to sub-optimal DWI acquisitions with missing slices (either due to a limited field of view or the acquisition of disrupted slices). To avoid discarding valuable subjects for group-wise studies, we propose a novel 3D Tensor-Wise Brain-Aware Gate network (TW-BAG) for inpainting disrupted DTIs. The proposed method is tailored to the problem with a dynamic gate mechanism and independent tensor-wise decoders. We evaluated the proposed method on the publicly available Human Connectome Project (HCP) dataset using common image similarity metrics derived from the predicted tensors and scalar DTI metrics. Our experimental results show that the proposed approach can reconstruct the original brain DTI volume and recover relevant clinical imaging information.

  Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a type of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique sensitised to the diffusivity of water molecules. This work proposes DirGeo-DTI, a deep learning-based method to estimate reliable DTI metrics even from a set of DWIs acquired with the minimum theoretical number (6) of gradient directions.

  This study demonstrates a synthesis engine for neurovascular segmentation in serial-section optical coherence tomography images.

We demonstrate the efficacy of the former by comparing it to several more realistic sets of training labels, and the latter by an ablation study of synthetic noise and artifact models.

  Susceptibility tensor imaging (STI) is an emerging magnetic resonance imaging technique that characterizes the anisotropic tissue magnetic susceptibility with a second-order tensor model. STI has the potential to provide information for the reconstruction of white matter fiber pathways and detection of myelin changes in the brain at mm resolution or less. However, the application of STI in vivo has been hindered by its cumbersome and time-consuming acquisition requirement of measuring susceptibility induced MR phase changes.
