Robust Estimation of the Microstructure of the Early Developing Brain Using Deep Learning

Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging (dMRI) is a powerful non-invasive method for studying white matter tracts of the brain. However, accurate microstructure estimation with fiber orientation distribution (FOD) using existing computational methods requires ...

Slice Estimation in Diffusion MRI of Neonatal and Fetal Brains in Image and Spherical Harmonics Domains Using Autoencoders

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Gabriel Girard, Thomas Yu, Hamza Kebiri

Diffusion MRI (dMRI) of the developing brain can provide valuable insights into the white matter development. However, slice thickness in fetal dMRI is typically high (i.e., 3-5 mm) to freeze the in-plane motion, which reduces the sensitivity of the dMRI s ...

Through-Plane Super-Resolution With Autoencoders in Diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Developing Human Brain

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Gabriel Girard, Erick Jorge Canales Rodriguez, Hamza Kebiri

Fetal brain diffusion magnetic resonance images (MRI) are often acquired with a lower through-plane than in-plane resolution. This anisotropy is often overcome by classical upsampling methods such as linear or cubic interpolation. In this work, we employ a ...

An automatic multi-tissue human fetal brain segmentation benchmark using the Fetal Tissue Annotation Dataset

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Hamza Kebiri

It is critical to quantitatively analyse the developing human fetal brain in order to fully understand neurodevelopment in both normal fetuses and those with congenital disorders. To facilitate this analysis, automatic multi-tissue fetal brain segmentation ...

Simulated Half-Fourier Acquisitions Single-shot Turbo Spin Echo (HASTE) of the Fetal Brain: Application to Super-Resolution Reconstruction

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Thomas Yu, Reto Meuli, Sébastien Tourbier, Patric Hagmann, Hamza Kebiri

Accurate characterization of in utero human brain maturation is critical as it involves complex interconnected structural and functional processes that may influence health later in life. Magnetic resonance imaging is a powerful tool complementary to the u ...

RimNet: A deep 3D multimodal MRI architecture for paramagnetic rim lesion assessment in multiple sclerosis

Meritxell Bach Cuadra, Tobias Kober, Francesco La Rosa, Cristina Granziera, Hamza Kebiri, Po-Jui Lu

Objectives In multiple sclerosis (MS), the presence of a paramagnetic rim at the edge of non-gadolinium-enhancing lesions indicates perilesional chronic inflammation. Patients featuring a higher paramagnetic rim lesion burden tend to have more aggressive d ...
