- Abstract summary: High-field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has proven its improved capacity of capturing the Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) in greater detail than lower field images.
Here, we present a comparison between the performance of two different Deep Learning (DL) automatic segmentation architectures.
The evaluation metrics showed that the performance of the segmentation directly in the native space yielded better results for the STN segmentation.

- Abstract: Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is one of the most successful methods to diminish late-stage Parkinson's Disease (PD) symptoms. It is a delicate surgical procedure which requires detailed pre-surgical patient's study. High-field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has proven its improved capacity of capturing the Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) - the main target of DBS in PD - in greater detail than lower field images. Here, we present a comparison between the performance of two different Deep Learning (DL) automatic segmentation architectures, one based in the registration to a brain template and the other performing the segmentation in in the MRI acquisition native space. The study was based on publicly available high-field 7 Tesla (T) brain MRI datasets of T1-weighted and T2-weighted sequences. nnUNet was used on the segmentation step of both architectures, while the data pre and post-processing pipelines diverged. The evaluation metrics showed that the performance of the segmentation directly in the native space yielded better results for the STN segmentation, despite not showing any advantage over the template-based method for the to other analysed structures: the Red Nucleus (RN) and the Substantia Nigra (SN).

We propose a weakly-supervised deep learning framework that preserves the rigidity and the volume of each vertebra while maximizing the accuracy of the registration.
We specifically design these losses to depend only on the CT label maps since automatic vertebra segmentation in CT gives more accurate results contrary to MRI.
Our results show that adding the anatomy-aware losses increases the plausibility of the inferred transformation while keeping the accuracy untouched.

We propose a novel model, Multi-modal Gaussian Process Prior Variational Autoencoder (MGP-VAE), to impute one or more missing sub-modalities for a patient scan.
MGP-VAE can leverage the Gaussian Process (GP) prior on the Variational Autoencoder (VAE) to utilize the subjects/patients and sub-modalities correlations.
We show the applicability of MGP-VAE on brain tumor segmentation where either, two, or three of four sub-modalities may be missing.
