• Abstract summary: Deep learning models have revolutionized the field of medical image analysis, offering significant promise for improved diagnostics and patient care. However, their performance can be misleadingly optimistic due to a hidden pitfall called 'data leakage' In this study, we investigate data leakage in 3D medical imaging, specifically using 3D Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for brain MRI analysis.

• Abstract: Deep learning models have revolutionized the field of medical image analysis, offering significant promise for improved diagnostics and patient care. However, their performance can be misleadingly optimistic due to a hidden pitfall called 'data leakage'. In this study, we investigate data leakage in 3D medical imaging, specifically using 3D Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for brain MRI analysis. While 3D CNNs appear less prone to leakage than 2D counterparts, improper data splitting during cross-validation (CV) can still pose issues, especially with longitudinal imaging data containing repeated scans from the same subject. We explore the impact of different data splitting strategies on model performance for longitudinal brain MRI analysis and identify potential data leakage concerns. GradCAM visualization helps reveal shortcuts in CNN models caused by identity confounding, where the model learns to identify subjects along with diagnostic features. Our findings, consistent with prior research, underscore the importance of subject-wise splitting and evaluating our model further on hold-out data from different subjects to ensure the integrity and reliability of deep learning models in medical image analysis.

Results confirm our method effectively reduces confounder influences, establishing less confounded associations.

  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.

  We investigate whether using increased spatial context by using MRI volumes combined with spatial erasing leads to improved unsupervised anomaly segmentation performance. We compare 2D variational autoencoder (VAE) to their 3D counterpart, propose 3D input erasing, and systemically study the impact of the data set size on the performance. Our best performing 3D VAE with input erasing leads to an average DICE score of 31.40% compared to 25.76% for the 2D VAE.
