扩散磁共振成像(dMRI)追踪可实现活体脑结构连接的映射,但传统连接组生成耗时且依赖灰质分区,限制了大规模研究。本文提出DeepMultiConnectome,一种深度学习模型,可直接从纤维追踪数据预测结构连接组,无需灰质分割,同时支持多种分区方案。采用基于点云的神经网络与多任务学习,模型对流线进行跨两种分区方案(84区与164区)的区域关联分类,并共享学习表征。在人类连接组计划青年成人数据集(n=1000)上训练与验证,包含约300万条全脑流线的追踪数据。模型可在约40秒内生成多个连接组。通过与传统方法生成的连接组对比,预测结果高度相关(84区:r=0.992;164区:r=0.986),并保持主要网络特性。测试-重测分析显示其重现性与传统方法相当。预测连接组在预测年龄与认知功能方面表现与传统方法相似。总体而言,DeepMultiConnectome提供了一种快速、可扩展的个体化连接组生成方法,适用于多种分区方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Diffusion MRI (dMRI) tractography enables in vivo mapping of brain structural connections, but traditional connectome generation is time-consuming and requires gray matter parcellation, posing challenges for large-scale studies. We introduce DeepMultiConnectome, a deep-learning model that predicts structural connectomes directly from tractography, bypassing the need for gray matter parcellation while supporting multiple parcellation schemes. Using a point-cloud-based neural network with multi-task learning, the model classifies streamlines according to their connected regions across two parcellation schemes, sharing a learned representation. We train and validate DeepMultiConnectome on tractography from the Human Connectome Project Young Adult dataset ($n = 1000$), labeled with an 84 and 164 region gray matter parcellation scheme. DeepMultiConnectome predicts multiple structural connectomes from a whole-brain tractogram containing 3 million streamlines in approximately 40 seconds. DeepMultiConnectome is evaluated by comparing predicted connectomes with traditional connectomes generated using the conventional method of labeling streamlines using a gray matter parcellation. The predicted connectomes are highly correlated with traditionally generated connectomes ($r = 0.992$ for an 84-region scheme; $r = 0.986$ for a 164-region scheme) and largely preserve network properties. A test-retest analysis of DeepMultiConnectome demonstrates reproducibility comparable to traditionally generated connectomes. The predicted connectomes perform similarly to traditionally generated connectomes in predicting age and cognitive function. Overall, DeepMultiConnectome provides a scalable, fast model for generating subject-specific connectomes across multiple parcellation schemes.
