Abstract

Multi-modal fusion is an effective approach to better understand brain diseases. However, most such instances have been limited to pair-wise fusion; because there are often more than two imaging modalities available per subject, there is a need for approaches that can combine multiple datasets optimally. In this paper, we extended our previous two-way fusion model called “multimodal CCA +joint ICA”, to three or N way fusion, that enables robust identification of correspondence among N data types and allows one to investigate the important question of whether certain disease risk factors are shared or distinct across multiple modalities. We compared “mCCA+jICA” with its alternatives in a 3-way fusion simulation and verified its advantages in both decomposition accuracy and modal linkage detection. We also applied it to real functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)-Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and structural MRI fusion to elucidate the abnormal architecture underlying schizophrenia (n=97) relative to healthy controls (n=116). Both modality-common and modality-unique abnormal regions were identified in schizophrenia. Specifically, the visual cortex in fMRI, the anterior thalamic radiation (ATR) and forceps minor in DTI, and the parietal lobule, cuneus and thalamus in sMRI were linked and discriminated between patients and controls. One fMRI component with regions of activity in motor cortex and superior temporal gyrus individually discriminated schizophrenia from controls. Finally, three components showed significant correlation with duration of illness (DOI), suggesting that lower gray matter volumes in parietal, frontal, temporal lobe and cerebellum are associated with increased DOI, along with white matter disruption in ATR and cortico-spinal tracts. Findings suggest that the identified fractional anisotropy changes may relate to the corresponding functional/structural changes in brain that are thought to play a role in the clinical expression of schizophrenia. The proposed “mCCA +jICA” method showed promise for elucidating the joint or coupled neuronal abnormalities underlying mental illnesses and improves our understanding of the disease process.

  • Supervised fusion can capture multimodal co-varying patterns related to specific clinical measures.

    “Multimodal fusion is focused on jointly identifying links between multimodal data, and can help identify the neural mechanisms underlying complex brain disorders, especially supervised fusion that can capture multimodal co-varying patterns related to specific clinical measures [6, 7].”

    From Confound Controlled Multimodal Neuroimaging Data Fusion and Its Application to Developmental Disorders (2025) · cites this paper as [6]

    The Introduction describes fusion methods that identify covariation across imaging modalities, and Results > Correlation with Behavior Information relates extracted components to illness duration and symptom scores (page numbers unavailable). These passages support the multimodal-pattern and clinical-measure aspects, but do not establish that clinical measures supervised the fusion; the reported correlations were assessed after component extraction.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
