Lung CT harmonization of paired reconstruction kernel images using generative adversarial networks

Apr. 24, 2024—Aravind R. Krishnan, Kaiwen Xu, Thomas Li, Lucas W. Remedios, Kim L. Sandler, Fabien Maldonado, Bennett A. Landman.  “Lung CT harmonization of paired reconstruction kernel images using generative adversarial networks.”Med Phys. 2024;1-14.https://doi.org/10.1002/mp.17028 Abstract Background The kernel used in CT image reconstruction is an important factor that determines the texture of the CT image. Consistency of reconstruction...

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,...
