Learning site-invariant features of connectomes to harmonize complex network measures
Dec. 1, 2023—Figure 1. Previous research elucidated that connectomes suffer from confounding site effects. In this work we propose a data-driven model to learn disjoint site (𝑐 = {1,2}) and biological features (siteless z) for BIOCARD (orange) and VMAP (blue) (left). We then inject a prescribed site, c’, to the learned representations to compute harmonized connectome modularity,...
Short superficial white matter and aging: a longitudinal multi-site study of 1293 subjects and 2711 sessions

Superficial white matter across development, young adulthood, and aging: volume, thickness, and relationship with cortical features
Aug. 31, 2023—Kurt G Schilling, Derek Archer, Francois Rheault, Ilwoo Lyu, Yuankai Huo, Leon Y Cai, Silvia A Bunge, Kevin S Weiner, John C Gore, Adam W Anderson, Bennett A Landman Paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37074446 Abstract Superficial white matter (SWM) represents a significantly understudied part of the human brain, despite comprising a large portion of brain volume and making up...
Efficient approximate signal reconstruction for correction of gradient nonlinearities in diffusion-weighted imaging
Aug. 31, 2023—Praitayini Kanakaraj, Leon Y. Cai, Tianyuan Yao, Francois Rheault, Baxter P. Rogers, Adam Anderson, Kurt G. Schilling, Bennett A. Landman. Magn Reson Imaging. 2023 Oct Full Text Abstract In diffusion weighted MRI (DW-MRI), hardware nonlinearities lead to spatial variations in the orientation and magnitude of diffusion weighting. While the correction of these spatial distortions has...

Denoising of diffusion MRI in the cervical spinal cord – effects of denoising strategy and acquisition on intra-cord contrast, signal modeling, and feature conspicuity
Aug. 31, 2023—Kurt Schilling, Shreyas Fadnavis, Joshua Batson, Mereze Visagie, Anna JE Combes, Colin D Mcknight, Francesca Bagnato, Eleftherios Garyfallidis, Bennett A Landman, Seth A Smith, Kristin P O’Grady Paper: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36543265/ Abstract Quantitative diffusion MRI (dMRI) is a promising technique for evaluating the spinal cord in health and disease. However, low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can impede interpretation and...
