Distinguishing Healthy Ageing from Dementia: a Biomechanical Simulation of Brain Atrophy using Deep Networks
Biomechanical modeling of tissue deformation can be used to simulate different scenarios of longitudinal brain evolution. In this work,we present a deep learning framework for hyper-elastic strain modelling of brain atrophy, during healthy ageing and in Alzheimer's Disease. The framework directly models the effects of age, disease status, and scan interval to regress regional patterns of atrophy, from which a strain-based model estimates deformations. This model is trained and validated using 3D structural magnetic resonance imaging data from the ADNI cohort. Results show that the framework can estimate realistic deformations, following the known course of Alzheimer's disease, that clearly differentiate between healthy and demented patterns of ageing. This suggests the framework has potential to be incorporated into explainable models of disease, for the exploration of interventions and counterfactual examples.

Machine learning of neuroimaging to diagnose cognitive impairment and dementia: a systematic review and comparative analysis
INTRODUCTION: Advanced machine learning methods might help to identify dementia risk from neuroimaging, but their accuracy to date is unclear. METHODS: We systematically reviewed the literature, 2006 to late 2016, for …
BIG-bench Machine LearningPredicting conversion of mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common age-related dementia. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is the early stage of cognitive decline before AD. It is crucial to predict the MCI-to-AD conversion for precise managemen…
