NeuroBridge: Bridging Multi-Task MRI Knowledge for Neurodegenerative Disease Diagnosis
- 融合海马体分割与萎缩分类的多任务框架,通过门控融合优化特征
- 在ADNI和OASIS数据集上分别达88.17%和82.78%准确率,MCI诊断提升最显著
- 支持跨队列泛化与概率筛查,适合临床辅助诊断与大规模筛查场景
基于MRI的阿尔茨海默病(AD)、轻度认知障碍(MCI)及相关痴呆的精准识别仍具挑战,因病理性结构变化常较细微且异质。本文提出NeuroBridge,一种临床引导的多任务MRI诊断框架。该框架整合大规模自监督预训练、海马体分割、海马体萎缩分类与重建目标,并采用门控融合进行微调。在ADNI与OASIS队列中评估,涵盖跨队列迁移、基于概率的分析及机会性筛查。NeuroBridge在各项分类任务中表现最优,在ADNI上对AD与正常对照的分类准确率达88.17%,在OASIS上为82.78%。在MCI相关及混合诊断场景中提升最为显著。框架展现出强跨队列泛化能力,预测概率与准确性呈系统性关联,验证了基于概率的机会性筛查可行性。临床引导的多任务表征学习优于传统单任务方法。NeuroBridge为痴呆评估与基于MRI的机会性筛查提供稳健可扩展的解决方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate MRI-based identification of Alzheimer's disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and related dementias remains challenging because disease-related structural changes are often subtle and heterogeneous. We developed NeuroBridge, a clinically guided multi-task MRI framework for neurodegenerative disease diagnosis. NeuroBridge integrates large-scale self-supervised MRI pretraining with hippocampal segmentation, hippocampal atrophy classification, and reconstruction objectives, followed by gated fusion fine-tuning. Performance was evaluated across ADNI and OASIS cohorts, including cross-cohort transfer, probability-based analysis, and opportunistic screening. NeuroBridge achieved the highest performance across evaluated classification tasks, reaching 88.17% accuracy for AD versus cognitively normal controls in ADNI and 82.78% in OASIS. The largest gains occurred in MCI-related and mixed-diagnosis settings. The framework demonstrated strong cross-cohort generalization, systematic associations between predicted-class probability and accuracy, and the feasibility of probability-based opportunistic screening. Clinically guided multi-task representation learning improves neurodegenerative MRI diagnosis beyond conventional single-task approaches. NeuroBridge provides a robust and scalable framework for dementia assessment and MRI-based opportunistic screening.
