The lack of a standardized preprocessing pipeline is a significant source of variability that might lower the reproducibility of studies, especially across sites and with incomplete description of the preprocessing workflows. We evaluate the downstream impact of variability in preprocessing workflow by quantifying the reproducibility and variability of region-of-interest (ROI) analyses. While many pipelines achieve excellent reproducibility in most ROI, we observed a large variability in performance of preprocessing workflows to the extent that some pipelines are detrimental to the data quality and reproducibility.

We evaluate whether Deep Learning (DL) Techniques are able to improve the quality of diffusion MRI data in clinical studies. To that end, we focused on a real study on migraine, where the differences between groups are drastically reduced when using 21 gradient directions instead of 61. Thus, we asked the participants to augment dMRI data acquired with only 21 directions to 61 via DL. The results were evaluated using a real clinical study with TBSS in which we statistically compared episodic migraine to chronic migraine.

The study aims to determine whether the use of artificial intelligence (AI) methods in medical images may result in the loss of critical clinical information and/or the appearance of false information. To assess this, the focus was on the angular resolution of dMRI and a clinical trial was conducted on migraine, specifically between episodic and chronic migraine patients. The number of gradient directions had an impact on white matter analysis results, with statistically significant differences between groups being drastically reduced when using 21 gradient directions instead of the original 61. Fourteen teams from different institutions were tasked to use DL to enhance three diffusion metrics (FA, AD and MD) calculated from data acquired with 21 gradient directions and a b-value of 1000 s/mm2. The goal was to produce results that were comparable to those calculated from 61 gradient directions. The results were evaluated using both standard image quality metrics and Tract-Based Spatial Statistics (TBSS) to compare episodic and chronic migraine patients. The study results suggest that while most DL techniques improved the ability to detect statistical differences between groups, they also led to an increase in false positive. The results showed that there was a constant growth rate of false positives linearly proportional to the new true positives, which highlights the risk of generalization of AI-based tasks when assessing diverse clinical cohorts and training using data from a single group. The methods also showed divergent performance when replicating the original distribution of the data and some exhibited significant bias. In conclusion, extreme caution should be exercised when using AI methods for harmonization or synthesis in clinical studies when processing heterogeneous data in clinical studies, as important information may be altered, even when global metrics such as structural similarity or peak signal-to-noise ratio appear to suggest otherwise.

The objective of this study was to validate the reliability and robustness of complementary diffusion measures extracted with a novel approach, Apparent Measures Using Reduced Acquisitions (AMURA), with a typical diffusion MRI acquisition from a clinical context in comparison with DTI with application to clinical studies. Fifty healthy controls, 51 episodic migraine and 56 chronic migraine patients underwent single-shell diffusion MRI. Four DTI-based and eight AMURA-based parameters were compared between groups with tract-based spatial statistics to establish reference results. On the other hand, following a region-based analysis, the measures were assessed for multiple subsamples with diverse reduced sample sizes and their stability was evaluated with the coefficient of quartile variation. To assess the discrimination power of the diffusion measures, we repeated the statistical comparisons with a region-based analysis employing reduced sample sizes with diverse subsets, decreasing 10 subjects per group for consecutive reductions, and using 5,001 different random subsamples. For each sample size, the stability of the diffusion descriptors was evaluated with the coefficient of quartile variation. AMURA measures showed a greater number of statistically significant differences in the reference comparisons between episodic migraine patients and controls compared to DTI. In contrast, a higher number of differences was found with DTI parameters compared to AMURA in the comparisons between both migraine groups. Regarding the assessments reducing the sample size, the AMURA parameters showed a more stable behavior than DTI, showing a lower decrease for each reduced sample size or a higher number of regions with significant differences. However, most AMURA parameters showed lower stability in relation to higher coefficient of quartile variation values than the DTI descriptors, although two AMURA measures showed similar values to DTI. For the synthetic signals, there were AMURA measures with similar quantification to DTI, while other showed similar behavior. These findings suggest that AMURA presents favorable characteristics to identify differences of specific microstructural properties between clinical groups in regions with complex fiber architecture and lower dependency on the sample size or assessing technique than DTI.

The Pearson{\textquoteright}s correlation coefficients between IPASE scores and intrahemispheric connectivity of the parahippocampal gyrus with the isthmus cingulate cortex in both hemispheres, and right parahippocampal gyrus with the right rostral anterior cingulate cortex were positive and significant suggesting a relation between hyperactive functional connectivity and anomalous self-experiences intensity. Prior literature reported these areas to have a role in self-processing and consciousness as well as being anatomically connected. Further research with larger sample size and comparison with controls are needed to confirm the relationship of this connectivity with anomalous self-experiences.

Methods: High-resolution 3D brain T1-weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging data were obtained twice from migraine patients. The first acquisition was performed immediately after the first visit to the Headache Unit, before taking preventive treatments. The second timepoint was at least three years after the first acquisition. From the longitudinal pipeline of FreeSurfer (v6.0), the mean values of cortical thickness, surface area and grey matter volume of 68 cortical, 14 subcortical regions and the cerebellum were extracted. Longitudinal changes between patients with CM and those who reversed to EM were assessed with linear
mixed-effects models, setting p\<0.05 (false discovery rate corrected) as threshold for statistical significance.
Results: 22 patients were included, and 10 of them (45.5\%) reversed to EM. No statistically significant differences of age (42.0+-9.0 years) and sex (21 women, 95.5\%) were found between patient groups. Higher statistically significant values of the three parameters in patients who reversed to EM were found in the pericalcarine, parietal, orbitofrontal cortex, and amygdala (Table 1, Figure 1). In contrast, lower values were detected in the cingulum, caudal middle frontal cortex, cerebellum, caudate nucleus and pallidum (Figure 2). In the insula, higher thickness but lower area was appreciated in patients who reversed.
Conclusion: Patients with CM who reverse to EM present distinct patterns of increased and decreased morphometric parameters propagated in the orbital frontal cortex and the cingulum, respectively.

It reduces the number of samples needed and the computational complexity of the estimation of diffusion properties of tissues by assuming the diffusion anisotropy is roughly independent on the b-value. This simplification allows the computation of simplified expressions and makes it compatible with standard acquisition protocols commonly used even in clinical practice. The present work proposes an extension of AMURA that allows the calculation of general moments of the diffusion signals that can be applied to describe the diffusion process with higher accuracy. We provide simplified expressions to analytically compute a set of scalar indices as moments of arbitrary orders over either the whole 3-D space, particular directions, or particular planes. The existing metrics previously proposed for AMURA (RTOP, RTPP and RTAP) are now special cases of this generalization. An extensive set of experiments is performed on public data and a clinical clase acquired with a standard type acquisition. The new metrics provide additional information about the diffusion processes inside the brain.

Methods: Exploratory case-control study. Highresolution 3D brain T1-weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging data were acquired in patients with persistent

FreeSurfer (version 6.0) was employed to segment the T1-weighted images and extract the mean values of the cortical curvature (CC) and thickness (CT), surface area (SA) and gray matter volume (GMV) of 68 cortical regions. GMV comparisons were adjusted for intracranial volume. Significant results were considered with p \< 0.05 (False Discovery Rate corrected).
Results: Ten patients with persistent headache after COVID-19 (mean age: 53.8 +- 7.8 years; nine women) and 10 HC balanced for age and sex (mean age: 53.1 +- 7.0 years; nine women) were included in the study. Significant higher mean SA and GMV values were found in patients with persistent headache compared to HC in the bilateral medial orbitofrontal cortex, left rostral middle frontal gyrus, and right pars opercularis and superior frontal gyrus. In the patients, significant higher GMV in the right caudal anterior cingulate gyrus and SA values in five temporal, frontal and parietal regions were observed. No CC or CT changes were found.
Conclusions: Persistent headache after COVID-19 infection is related to gray matter cortical changes defined by higher GMV and SA values mainly localized in frontal regions.
Background and aims: In early 2020, the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has impaired medical care of chronic neurological diseases, including epilepsy. The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the levels of anxiety, depression, somnolence and quality of life using validated scales in patients with epilepsy in real-life clinical practice.
Methods: Self-administered scales of anxiety disorders (GAD-7), depression (NDDI-E), somnolence (Epworth Sleepiness Scale; ESS) and quality of life (QOLIE-31-P) in patients with epilepsy treated in the Refractory Epilepsy Unit of a tertiary hospital were longitudinally analyzed with Generalized Linear Mixed Models. Data were collected before the beginning (December 2019-March 2020) and during the COVID-19 pandemic (September 2020-January 2021).
Results: 37 patients, 45.0+-17.3 years of age, 43.2\% women, epilepsy duration 23.0+-14.9 years, number of anti-epileptic drugs 2.1+-1.4, answered in the two periods. Significant longitudinal reduction of QOLIE-31-P scores (from 58.9+-19.7 to 56.2+-16.2, p=0.035) was identified. No statistically significant longitudinal changes in NDDI-E (from 12.3+-4.3 to 13.4+-4.4, p=0.293) or the number of seizures (from 0.9+-1.9 to 2.5+-6.2, p=0.125) were found. Significant higher ESS (from 4.9+-3.7 to 7.4+-4.9, p=0.001) and lower GAD-7 scores (from 8.8+-6.2 to 8.3+-5.9, corrected p=0.024 adjusted by refractory epilepsy and sleep disturbance) were found during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Conclusion: During the COVID-19 pandemic, quality of life was lower in patients with epilepsy, levels of anxiety were reduced and sleepiness levels were raised, without seizure change. Additional studies would be useful to adequately manage these comorbidities.

Magnetic resonance is an imaging modality that implies a high complexity for radiographers. Despite some simulators having been developed for training purposes, we are not aware of any attempt to quantitatively measure their educational performance. The present study gives an answer to the question: Does an MRI simulator built on specific functional and non-functional requirements help radiographers learn MRI theoretical and practical concepts better than traditional educational method based on lectures? Our study was carried out in a single day by a total of 60 students of a main hospital in Madrid, Spain. The experiment followed a randomized pre-test post-test design with a control group that used a traditional educational method, and an experimental group that used our simulator. Knowledge level was assessed by means of an instrument with evidence of validity in its format and content, while its reliability was analyzed after the experiment. Statistical differences between both groups were measured. Significant statistical differences were found in favor of the participants who used the simulator for both the post-test score and the gain (difference between post-test and pre-test scores). The effect size turned out to be significant as well. In this work we evaluated a magnetic resonance simulation paradigm as a tool to help in the training of radiographers. The study shows that a simulator built on specific design requirements is a valuable complement to traditional education procedures, backed up with significant quantitative results.

We hypothesized that subgroups characterized by different cognitive profiles would show differences in an array of biological data. Cognitive data from 198 patients (127 with chronic schizophrenia, 42 first episodes of schizophrenia and 29 bipolar patients) were analyzed by a K-means cluster approach and were compared on several clinical and biological variables. We also included 155 healthy controls for further comparisons. A two-cluster solution was selected, including a severely impaired group and a moderately impaired group. The severely impaired group was associated with higher illness duration and symptoms scores, lower thalamus and hippocampus volume, lower frontal connectivity and basal hypersynchrony in comparison to controls and the moderately impaired group.

Methods: Exploratory case-control study. Highresolution brain resting-state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging data were acquired in patients with
persistent headache after COVID-19 infection and healthy controls (HC). CONN toolbox (version 17) was employed to assess the resting-state functional connectivity between 84 cortical and subcortical gray matter regions of interest. Significant results were considered with p \< 0.05 (Family Discovery Rate and seed-level corrected).
Results: Ten patients with persistent headache after COVID-19 (mean age: 53.8 +- 7.8 years; nine women) and 10 HC balanced for age and sex (mean age: 51.9 +- 6.6 years; nine women) were included in the study. Statistically significant higher functional connectivity was observed in the patients with persistent headache compared to HC in 10 connections. These connections were composed of an occipital region and another region that included the isthmus cingulate gyrus, a frontal or a parietal area. In the patients, significant lower functional connectivity was found in 12 connections between the cingulate and hippocampal gyri, parietal, temporal and frontal regions.
Conclusions: Patients with persistent headache after COVID-19 infection present strengthened functional connectivity with occipital regions and weakened functional connectivity between frontal, temporal and parietal regions.
Introduction: Recent studies support the identification of valid subtypes within schizophrenia and bipolar disorder using cluster analysis. Our aim was to identify meaningful biotypes of psychosis based on network properties of the electroencephalogram. We hypothesized that these parameters would be more altered in a subgroup of patients also characterized by more severe deficits in other clinical, cognitive, and biological measurements.
Methods: A clustering analysis was performed using the electroencephalogram-based network parameters derived from graph-theory obtained during a P300 task of 137 schizophrenia (of them, 35 first episodes) and 46 bipolar patients. Both prestimulus and modulation of the electroencephalogram were included in the analysis. Demographic, clinical, cognitive, structural cerebral data, and the modulation of the spectral entropy of the electroencephalogram were compared between clusters. Data from 158 healthy controls were included for further comparisons.
Results: We identified two clusters of patients. One cluster presented higher prestimulus connectivity strength, clustering coefficient, path-length, and lower small-world index compared to controls. The modulation of clustering coefficient and path-length parameters was smaller in the former cluster, which also showed an altered structural connectivity network and a widespread cortical thinning. The other cluster of patients did not show significant differences with controls in the functional network properties. No significant differences were found between patients{\textasciiacute} clusters in first episodes and bipolar proportions, symptoms scores, cognitive performance, or spectral entropy modulation.
Conclusion: These data support the existence of a subgroup within psychosis with altered global properties of functional and structural connectivity.

To ensure the adequate staffing of healthcare providers during peak times of headache visits, we analyzed the temporal distribution of emergency department visits in patients presenting with headache and/or migraine.
Research design and methods: The authors conducted an ecological study, including all consecutive visits to the ED for headache. Patients were classified according to the IHS Classification. We analyzed circadian, circaseptan and circannual patterns for number of visits, comparing migraine patients with other headache patients.
Results: There were 2132 ED visits for headache, including primary headache in 1367 (64.1\%) cases; migraine in 963 (45.2\%); secondary headache in 404 (18.9\%); and unspecified headache in 366 (17.1\%). The circadian pattern showed peaks around 11:00{\textendash}13:00 and 17:00{\textendash}19:00, with visits during the night shift 45\% less frequent (p \< 0.001). The circaseptan pattern showed a peak on Monday-Tuesday and a low point on Sunday (p \< 0.007). The circannual pattern peaked in March and decreased in June.
Conclusions: ED visits for headache showed specific circadian, circaseptan and circannual variations. No differences were found in these patterns when comparing migraine patients to other headache patients.

Methods: Exploratory case-control study. Highresolution brain diffusion Magnetic Resonance Imaging data were acquired in patients with persistent headache after COVID-19 infection and healthy controls (HC). Tract-Based Spatial Statistics was used to compare fractional anisotropy (FA), axial diffusivity (AD), mean diffusivity (MD), radial diffusivity (RD) and the return-to-axial (RTAP), return-to-origin (RTOP) and return-to-plane probability (RTPP) between the groups. RTAP, RTOP and RTPP were obtained with a new approach called AMURA (https://www.lpi.tel.uva.es/AMURA).

Results: Ten patients with persistent headache after COVID-19 (mean age: 53.8 +- 7.8 years; nine women) and 10 HC balanced for age and sex (mean age: 53.1 +- 7.0 years; nine women) were included in the study. Significant higher AD and lower RTPP values were found in patients with persistent headache compared to HC in five regions from the corona radiata, and the external and internal capsule. In the patients, significant lower RTPP values were identified in six additional areas from the same tracts and the superior longitudinal fasciculus. No additional changes were found.
Conclusions: White matter axonal alterations are present in patients with persistent headache after COVID-19 infection.
Objective: The objective of this project is to study the presence of psychiatric comorbidity (anxiety and depression), somnolence and quality of life using validated scales in patients with epilepsy in real clinical practice, and its relationship with other clinical and demographic variables.
Background: Previous studies have shown that psychiatric comorbidity, specially anxiety and depression, as well as sleep disorders are more prevalent in patients with epilepsy than in the general population.
Design/Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive observational study using validated scales of anxiety disorders(GAD-7), depression(NDDI-E), sleep disorders(Epworth) and quality of life(QOLIE-31-P) in patients with epilepsy treated in the Refractory Epilepsy Unit of a tertiary hospital.
Results: We recruited 84 patients, age 44.3 {\textpm} 17.4 years, 48.2\% women, duration of epilepsy 21.5 {\textpm} 15.9 years, number of antiepileptic drugs 1.9 {\textpm} 1.2. We found severe anxiety(GAD-7\> 14) in 14.3\%, depression(NDDI-E\> 15) in 20.2\%; abnormal sleepiness(Epworth\> 10) in 14.3\% of patients, and QOLIE-31-P 62.0 {\textpm} 19.2. Each more point in GAD-7 is 21\% more likely to suffer from anxiety(OR 1.21; 95\% CI 1.09{\textendash}1.36; p = 0.0008), NDDI-E scores\<=15 represent 85 \% less chance of having depression(OR 0.15; 95\% CI 0.04{\textendash}0.51]; p = 0.002). We found a positive association between depression according to NDDI-E with seizure frequency(p = 0.017) and number of drugs(p = 0.019); and severe anxiety according to GAD-7 and number of drugs(p = 0.019). We found a negative correlation between QOLIE-31-P with NDDI-E(r = -0.68; p \<0.0001) and GAD-7(r = -0.76; p \<0.0001).
Conclusions: Validated scales in epilepsy for the detection of anxiety(GAD-7) and depression(NDDI-E) are useful in the detection of these disorders in real clinical practice. The assessment of the presence of anxiety-depressive psychiatric comorbidity is especially relevant in patients with a higher frequency of seizures, a greater number of drugs and a poorer quality of life.

In this study we aimed to replicate in a completely new sample and supplement the results of a previous study with additional data on this topic. In the aforementioned study we identified a schizophrenia cluster characterized by high mean cortical curvature and low cortical thickness, subcortical hypometabolism and progressive negative symptoms. Here, we have used magnetic resonance images from 61 schizophrenia and 28 bipolar patients, as well as 51 healthy controls and a cluster analysis to search for possible subgroups primarily characterized by cerebral structural data. Diffusion tensor imaging (fractional anisotropy, FA), cognition, clinical data and electroencephalographic (EEG) modulation during a P300 task were used to validate the possible clusters. Two clusters of patients were identified. The first cluster (29 schizophrenia and 18 bipolar patients) showed decreased cortical thickness and area values, as well as lower subcortical volumes and higher cortical curvature in some regions, as compared to the second cluster. This first cluster also showed decreased FA in frontal lobe connections and worse cognitive performance. Although this cluster also showed longer illness duration, there were first episode patients in both clusters and treatment doses and types were not different between clusters. Both clusters of patients showed decreased EEG task-related modulation. In conclusion, our data give additional support to a distinct biologically based cluster encompassing schizophrenia and bipolar disorder patients with cortical and subcortical alterations, hampered cortical connectivity and lower cognitive performance.

The direct estimation of the EAP, however, requires a dense sampling of the Cartesian q-space involving a huge amount of samples (diffusion gradients) for proper reconstruction. A collection of more efficient techniques have been proposed in the last decade based on parametric representations of the EAP, but they still imply acquiring a large number of diffusion gradients with different b-values (shells). Paradoxically, this has come together with an effort to find scalar measures gathering all the q-space micro-structural information probed in one single index or set of indices. Among them, the return-to-origin (RTOP), return-to-plane (RTPP), and return-to-axis (RTAP) probabilities have rapidly gained popularity. In this work, we propose the so-called {\textquotedblleft}Apparent Measures Using Reduced Acquisitions{\textquotedblright} (AMURA) aimed at computing scalar indices that can mimic the sensitivity of state of the art EAP-based measures to micro-structural changes. AMURA drastically reduces both the number of samples needed and the computational complexity of the estimation of diffusion properties by assuming the diffusion anisotropy is roughly independent from the radial direction. This simplification allows us to compute closed-form expressions from single-shell information, so that AMURA remains compatible with standard acquisition protocols commonly used even in clinical practice. Additionally, the analytical form of AMURA-based measures, as opposed to the iterative, non-linear reconstruction ubiquitous to full EAP techniques, turns the newly introduced apparent RTOP, RTPP, and RTAP both robust and efficient to compute.

This study is aimed at developing a stereo vision system for distinguishing between rice plants and weeds and further discriminating two types of weeds in a rice field by using artificial neural networks (ANNs) and two metaheuristic algorithms. For this purpose, stereo videos were recorded across the rice field and different channels were extracted and decomposed into the constituent frames.

For accurate discrimination of the rice and weeds, a total of 302 color, shape, and texture features were identified.

Whereas dedicated computing devices (GPUs in particular) exist and do provide significant efficiency boosts, they have an extra cost of use in terms of housekeeping tasks (device selection and initialization, data streaming, synchronization with the CPU, and others), which may hinder developers from using them. This paper describes an OpenCL-based framework that is capable of handling dedicated computing devices seamlessly and that allows the developer to concentrate on image processing tasks. The framework handles automatically device discovery and initialization, data transfers to and from the device and the file system and kernel loading and compiling. Data structures need to be defined only once independently of the computing device; code is unique, consequently, for every device, including the host CPU. Pinned memory/buffer mapping is used to achieve maximum performance in data transfers. Code fragments included in the paper show how the computing device is almost immediately and effortlessly available to the users algorithms, so they can focus on productive work. Code required for device selection and initialization, data loading and streaming and kernel compilation is minimal and systematic. Algorithms can be thought of as mathematical operators (called processes), with input, output and parameters, and they may be chained one after another easily and efficiently. Also for efficiency, processes can have their initialization work split from their core workload, so process chains and loops do not incur in performance penalties.

Methods: k-t SPARSE-SENSE with temporal total variation (tTV) is used as the base reconstruction algorithm. Motion in the dynamic image is estimated by means of a robust registration technique for non-rigid motion. The resulting deformation fields are used to leverage the regularization term. The results are compared with standard k-t SPARSE-SENSE with tTV regularization as well as with an improved version of this algorithm that makes use of tTV and temporal Fast Fourier Transform regularization in x-f domain.
Results: The proposed method with space-time variant regularization provides higher motion fidelity and image quality than the two previously reported methods. Difference images between undersampled reconstruction and fully sampled reference images show less systematic errors with the proposed approach.
Conclusions: Usage of a space-time variant regularization offers reconstructions with better image quality than the state of the art approaches used for comparison.
The purpose of this work is to develop a methodology for the adjoint operators application in non linear optimization problems. The use of adjoint operators is very popular for numerical control theory; one of its main applications is devised for image reconstruction. Most of these reconstruction techniques are limited to linear L1-constraints whose adjoints are well-defined. We aim to extend these image reconstruction techniques allowing the terms involved to be non linear. For these purpose, we have generalized the concept of adjoint operator under the basis of Taylor{\textquoteright}s formula, using Gateaux derivatives in order to construct a linearised adjoint operator associated to the non linear operator. The proposed approach has been validated in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) reconstruction framework with Cartesian subsampled k-space data using Compressed Sensing based techniques and a groupwise registration algorithm for motion compensation.
The proposed algorithm has shown to be able to effectively deal with the presence of both physiological motion and subsampling artefacts, increasing accuracy and robustness of the reconstruction as compared with its linear counterpart.
The HARP methodology is a widely extended procedure for cardiac tagged magnetic resonance imaging since it is able to analyse local mechanical behaviour of the heart; extensions and improvements of this method have also been reported since HARP was released. Acquisition of an over-determined set of orientations is one of such alternatives,
which has notably increased HARP robustness at the price of increasing examination time. In this paper, we explore an alternative to this method based on the use of multiple peaks, as opposed to multiple orientations, intended for a single acquisition. Performance loss is explored with respect to multiple orientations in a real setting. In addition, we have assessed, by means of a computational phantom, optimal tag orientations and spacings of the stripe pattern by minimizing the Frobenius norm of the difference between the ground truth and the estimated material deformation gradient tensor. Results indicate that, for a single acquisition, multiple peaks as opposed to multiple orientations, are indeed preferable.
Left ventricular rotational motion is a feature of normal and diseased cardiac function. However, classical torsion and twist measures rely on the definition of a rotational axis which may not exist. This paper reviews global and local rotation descriptors of myocardial motion and introduces new curl-based (vortical) features built from tensorial magnitudes, intended to provide better comprehension about fibrotic tissue characteristics mechanical properties. Fifty-six cardiomyopathy patients and twenty-two healthy volunteers have been studied using tagged magnetic resonance by means of harmonic phase analysis. Rotation descriptors are built, with no assumption about a regular geometrical model, from different approaches. The extracted vortical features have been tested by means of a sequential cardiomyopathy classification procedure; they have proven useful for the regional characterization of the left ventricular function by showing great separability not only between pathologic and healthy patients but also, and specifically, between heterogeneous phenotypes within cardiomyopathies.

Excitotoxicity is the prevalent model to explain ictal neurodegeneration. Current labeling technologies cannot distinguish between excitotoxicity and hypoxia, however, because they share common molecular mechanisms. This leaves open the possibility that undetected ischemic hypoxia, due to ictal blood flow restriction, could contribute to neurodegeneration previously ascribed to excitotoxicity. We tested this possibility with Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (CLE) and novel stereological analyses in several models of epileptic mice. We found a higher number and magnitude of NG2+ mural-cell mediated capillary constrictions in the hippocampus of epileptic mice than in that of normal mice, in addition to spatial coupling between capillary constrictions and oxidative stressed neurons and neurodegeneration. These results reveal a role for hypoxia driven by capillary blood flow restriction in ictal neurodegeneration. {\textcopyright} 2017 The Author(s).

Theory and Methods: We propose a new regularization metric based on the introduction of a spatial weighting measure given by the Jacobian of the estimated deformations. It shows convenient discretization properties and, as a byproduct, it also provides a theoretical support to a result reported by others based on an intuitive design. The method has been applied to the reconstruction of both short and long axis views of the heart of four healthy volunteers. Quantitative image quality metrics as well as straightforward visual assessment are reported.
Results: Short and long axis reconstructions of cardiac cine MRI sequences have shown superior results than previously reported methods both in terms of quantitative metrics and of visual assessment. Fine details are better preserved due to the lack of additional intraframe regularization, with no significant image artifacts even for an acceleration factor of 12.
Conclusions: The proposed Jacobian Weighted temporal Total Variation results in better reconstructions of highly undersampled cardiac cine MRI than previously proposed methods and sets a theoretical ground for forward and backward predictors used elsewhere.

Diffusion Tensor Imaging scans were acquired from 24 patients diagnosed with chronic schizophrenia and 26 matched healthy controls. Deterministic tractography was used in conjunction with FreeSurfer-based regions-of-interest to subdivide the CB into 5 sub-connections (I1 to I5). The patients with schizophrenia exhibited subnormal levels of FA in two cingulum sub-connections, specifically the fibers connecting the rostral and caudal anterior cingulate gyrus (I1) and the fibers connecting the isthmus of the cingulate with the parahippocampal cortex (I4). Furthermore, while FA in the I1 sub-connection was correlated with the severity of patients{\textquoteright} positive symptoms (specifically hallucinations and delusions), FA in the I4 sub-connection was correlated with the severity of patients{\textquoteright} negative symptoms (specifically affective flattening and anhedonia/asociality). These results support the notion that the CB is a conglomeration of structurally interconnected yet functionally distinct sub-connections, of which only a subset are abnormal in patients with schizophrenia. Furthermore, while acknowledging the fact that the present study only investigated the CB, these results suggest that the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia may have distinct neurobiological underpinnings.

We numerically compare various fixed and trained fusion rules, i.e., the Majority Vote, Simple Average, Weighted Average, and Perceptron Average, when applying them to a binary statistical pattern recognition problem. To judge from the experimental results, the Weighted Average approach outperforms the other fusion strategies with balanced input features, while the Perceptron Average is superior and achieves the goals with lowest standard deviation with imbalanced ensembles. We concretely analyze the results of above fusion strategies, state the advantages of fusing the component networks, and provide our particular broad sense perspective about information fusion in neural networks.

Prior knowledge is first used to locate initial contours for the snakes inside each bone of interest. Next, an adaptive snake algorithm is applied so that parameters are properly adjusted for each bone specifically. We introduce a novel truncation technique to prevent the external forces of the snake from pulling the contour outside the bones boundaries, yielding excellent results.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1109/ICIP.2003.1247271}, url = {https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/1247271}, author = {Rodrigo de Luis-Garc{\'\i}a and Marcos Martin-Fernandez and J I Arribas and Carlos Alberola L{\'o}pez} } @proceedings {de2003model, title = {A model-based algorithm for the automatic segmentation of metacarpals in handwrist radiographs using active contours}, year = {2003}, pages = {80{\textendash}81}, author = {Rodrigo de Luis-Garc{\'\i}a and Marcos Martin-Fernandez and Miguel Angel Martin-Fernandez and Carlos Alberola-Lopez} } @inbook {martin2003novel, title = {A novel Gauss-Markov random field approach for regularization of diffusion tensor maps}, booktitle = {Computer Aided Systems Theory-EUROCAST 2003}, year = {2003}, pages = {506{\textendash}517}, publisher = {Springer Berlin Heidelberg}, organization = {Springer Berlin Heidelberg}, author = {Marcos Martin-Fernandez and Raul San Jose-Estepar and Carl-Fredik Westin and Carlos Alberola-Lopez} } @article {alberola2003simple, title = {A simple test of equality of time series}, journal = {Signal processing}, volume = {83}, number = {6}, year = {2003}, pages = {1343{\textendash}1348}, publisher = {Elsevier}, author = {Carlos Alberola-Lopez and Marcos Martin-Fernandez} } @article {san2003theoretical, title = {A theoretical framework to three-dimensional ultrasound reconstruction from irregularly sampled data}, journal = {Ultrasound in medicine \& biology}, volume = {29}, number = {2}, year = {2003}, pages = {255{\textendash}269}, publisher = {Elsevier}, author = {Raul San Jose-Estepar and Marcos Martin-Fernandez and Caballero-Mart{\'\i}nez, P Pablo and Carlos Alberola-Lopez and Juan Ruiz-Alzola} } @inbook {martin2002bayesian, title = {A Bayesian Approach to in vivo Kidney Ultrasound Contour Detection Using Markov Random Fields}, booktitle = {Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention{\textemdash}MICCAI 2002}, year = {2002}, pages = {397{\textendash}404}, publisher = {Springer}, organization = {Springer}, author = {Marcos Martin-Fernandez and Carlos Alberola-Lopez} } @conference {martin2001maximum, title = {Maximum likelihood contour estimation using beta-statistics in ultrasound images}, booktitle = {Image and Signal Processing and Analysis, 2001.
