Deep learning based tractography with TractSeg in patients with hemispherotomy: Evaluation and refinement by Johannes Gruen, Tobias Bauer, Theodor Rüber, Thomas Schultz

“…At the same time, TractSeg failed to reconstruct or undersegmented some tracts that are known to be preserved.We subsequently propose a refinement of TractSeg which aims to improve its applicability to data with pathologies, by using its Tract Orientation Maps as an anatomical prior in low-rank tensor approximation based tractography such that tracking is guaranteed to continue only where presence of the tract is directly supported by the data (“data fidelity”). …”

Development of machine learning models for predicting non-remission in early RA highlights the robust predictive importance of the RAID score-evidence from the ARCTIC study by Gaoyang Li, Shrikant S. Kolan, Franco Grimolizzi, Joseph Sexton, Giulia Malachin, Guro Goll, Tore K. Kvien, Tore K. Kvien, Nina Paulshus Sundlisæter, Manuela Zucknick, Siri Lillegraven, Espen A. Haavardsholm, Espen A. Haavardsholm, Bjørn Steen Skålhegg

“…Despite methotrexate being the cornerstone of early RA treatment, a significant proportion of patients fail to achieve remission. This study aims to predict 6-month non-remission in 222 disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD)-naïve RA patients initiating methotrexate monotherapy, using baseline patient characteristics from the ARCTIC trial.MethodsMachine learning models were developed utilizing twenty-one baseline demographic, clinical and laboratory features to predict non-remission according to ACR/EULAR Boolean, SDAI and CDAI criteria. …”
