• Abstract summary: We propose a two-stage cascaded network based on the Inception and TransMorph models. Loss function was composed of a standard image similarity measure, a diffusion regularizer, and an edge-map similarity measure added to overcome intensity dependence. We achieved 6th place at the time of model submission in the final testing phase of the BraTS-Reg challenge.

• Abstract: Deformable image registration is a key task in medical image analysis. The Brain Tumor Sequence Registration challenge (BraTS-Reg) aims at establishing correspondences between pre-operative and follow-up scans of the same patient diagnosed with an adult brain diffuse high-grade glioma and intends to address the challenging task of registering longitudinal data with major tissue appearance changes. In this work, we proposed a two-stage cascaded network based on the Inception and TransMorph models. The dataset for each patient was comprised of a native pre-contrast (T1), a contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (T1-CE), a T2-weighted (T2), and a Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery (FLAIR). The Inception model was used to fuse the 4 image modalities together and extract the most relevant information. Then, a variant of the TransMorph architecture was adapted to generate the displacement fields. The Loss function was composed of a standard image similarity measure, a diffusion regularizer, and an edge-map similarity measure added to overcome intensity dependence and reinforce correct boundary deformation. We observed that the addition of the Inception module substantially increased the performance of the network. Additionally, performing an initial affine registration before training the model showed improved accuracy in the landmark error measurements between pre and post-operative MRIs. We observed that our best model composed of the Inception and TransMorph architectures while using an initially affine registered dataset had the best performance with a median absolute error of 2.91 (initial error = 7.8). We achieved 6th place at the time of model submission in the final testing phase of the BraTS-Reg challenge.

  Learning-based deformable registration relies on weighted objective functions trading off registration accuracy and smoothness of the field. We construct a registration model based on the gradient surgery mechanism, named GSMorph, to achieve a hyper parameter-free balance on multiple losses. Our method is model-agnostic and can be merged into any deep registration network without introducing extra parameters or slowing down inference.

  Deep MRI reconstruction is commonly performed with conditional models that de-alias undersampled acquisitions to recover images consistent with fully-sampled data. Unconditional models instead learn generative image priors decoupled from the operator to improve reliability against domain shifts related to the imaging operator. Here we propose the first adaptive diffusion prior for MRI reconstruction, AdaDiff, to improve performance and reliability against domain shifts.

  Mammogram benign or malignant classification with only image-level labels is challenging due to the absence of lesion annotations.

We derive a new theoretical result for counterfactual generation based on the symmetric prior.
