• Abstract summary: We introduce MBSS-T1, a self-supervised model for motion correction in cardiac T1 mapping. Physical constraints ensure expected signal decay behavior, while anatomical constraints maintain realistic deformations. MBSS-T1 outperformed baseline deep-learning-based image registration approaches in a 5-fold experiment.

• Abstract: T1 mapping is a valuable quantitative MRI technique for diagnosing diffuse myocardial diseases. Traditional methods, relying on breath-hold sequences and echo triggering, face challenges with patient compliance and arrhythmias, limiting their effectiveness. Image registration can enable motion-robust T1 mapping, but inherent intensity differences between time points pose a challenge. We introduce MBSS-T1, a self-supervised model for motion correction in cardiac T1 mapping, constrained by physical and anatomical principles. The physical constraints ensure expected signal decay behavior, while the anatomical constraints maintain realistic deformations. The unique combination of these constraints ensures accurate T1 mapping along the longitudinal relaxation axis. MBSS-T1 outperformed baseline deep-learning-based image registration approaches in a 5-fold experiment on a public dataset of 210 patients (STONE sequence) and an internal dataset of 19 patients (MOLLI sequence). MBSS-T1 excelled in model fitting quality ($R^2$: 0.975 vs. 0.941, 0.946), anatomical alignment (Dice score: 0.89 vs. 0.84, 0.88), and expert visual quality assessment for the presence of visible motion artifacts (4.33 vs. 3.38, 3.66). MBSS-T1 has the potential to enable motion-robust T1 mapping for a broader range of patients, overcoming challenges such as arrhythmias and suboptimal compliance, and allowing for free-breathing T1 mapping without requiring large training datasets. Our code will be publicly available upon acceptance.

  Cardiac ultrasound faces two major challenges: (1) the inherently complex structure of the heart, and (2) significant individual variations. Previous works have only learned the population-averaged 2D and 3D structures of the heart rather than personalized cardiac structural features. We propose a sequence-aware self-supervised pre-training method to learn personalized 2D and 3D cardiac structural features.

  Tuberculosis (TB) is a major global health threat, causing millions of deaths annually. Computer-aided tuberculosis diagnosis (CTD) using deep learning has shown promise, but progress is hindered by limited training data. We establish a large-scale dataset, namely the Tuberculosis X-ray (TBX11K) dataset, which contains 11,200 chest X-ray (CXR) images with corresponding bounding box annotations for TB areas. This dataset enables the training of sophisticated detectors for high-quality CTD.

  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.
