• Abstract summary: We propose a two-stage method that constructs a Structural Causal Model (SCM) within the latent space. In the first stage, we employ a VQ-VAE to learn a compact embedding of the MRI volume. Subsequently, we integrate our causal model into this latent space and execute a three-step counterfactual procedure.

• Abstract: The number of samples in structural brain MRI studies is often too small to properly train deep learning models. Generative models show promise in addressing this issue by effectively learning the data distribution and generating high-fidelity MRI. However, they struggle to produce diverse, high-quality data outside the distribution defined by the training data. One way to address the issue is using causal models developed for 3D volume counterfactuals. However, accurately modeling causality in high-dimensional spaces is a challenge so that these models generally generate 3D brain MRIS of lower quality. To address these challenges, we propose a two-stage method that constructs a Structural Causal Model (SCM) within the latent space. In the first stage, we employ a VQ-VAE to learn a compact embedding of the MRI volume. Subsequently, we integrate our causal model into this latent space and execute a three-step counterfactual procedure using a closed-form Generalized Linear Model (GLM). Our experiments conducted on real-world high-resolution MRI data (1mm) demonstrate that our method can generate high-quality 3D MRI counterfactuals.

  Generative modeling of 3D brain MRIs presents difficulties in achieving high visual fidelity while ensuring sufficient coverage of the data distribution. In this work, we propose to address this challenge with composable, multiscale morphological transformations in a variational autoencoder framework. We show substantial performance improvements in FID while retaining comparable, or superior, reconstruction quality compared to prior work based on VAEs and generative adversarial networks (GANs)

  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.
