• Abstract: Insufficiency of training data is a persistent issue in medical image analysis, especially for task-based functional magnetic resonance images (fMRI) with spatio-temporal imaging data acquired using specific cognitive tasks. In this paper, we propose an approach for generating synthetic fMRI sequences that can then be used to create augmented training datasets in downstream learning tasks. To synthesize high-resolution task-specific fMRI, we adapt the $\alpha$-GAN structure, leveraging advantages of both GAN and variational autoencoder models, and propose different alternatives in aggregating temporal information. The synthetic images are evaluated from multiple perspectives including visualizations and an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) classification task. The results show that the synthetic task-based fMRI can provide effective data augmentation in learning the ASD classification task.

  Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that encompasses a wide variety of symptoms and degrees of impairment. We have developed a transformer-based self-supervised framework that directly analyzes time-series fMRI data without computing functional connectivity. We show that randomly masking entire ROIs gives better model performance than randomly masking time points in the pre-training step.

  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.

  Deep Learning (DL) models have achieved state-of-the-art performance in diagnosing multiple diseases using reconstructed images as input. DL models are sensitive to varying artifacts as it leads to changes in the input data distribution between the training and testing phases. We propose to use other normalization techniques, such as Group Normalization and Layer Normalization, to inject robustness into model performance against varying image artifacts.

  We propose a deep learning based multi-modal computing model for MRI synthesis with feature disentanglement strategy. The proposed approach decomposes each input modality into modality-invariant space with shared information and modality-specific space with specific information. To address the lack of specific information of the target modality in the test phase, a local adaptive fusion (LAF) module is adopted to generate a modality-like pseudo-target.
