Deep learning applications in vascular dementia using neuroimaging

Dong, Chao, Hayashi, Shizuka·2024·Current Opinion in Psychiatry

Abstract

Purpose of review: Vascular dementia (VaD) is the second common cause of dementia after Alzheimer's disease, and deep learning has emerged as a critical tool in dementia research. The aim of this article is to highlight the current deep learning applications in VaD-related imaging biomarkers and diagnosis. Recent findings: The main deep learning technology applied in VaD using neuroimaging data is convolutional neural networks (CNN). CNN models have been widely used for lesion detection and segmentation, such as white matter hyperintensities (WMH), cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), perivascular spaces (PVS), lacunes, cortical superficial siderosis, and brain atrophy. Applications in VaD subtypes classification also showed excellent results. CNN-based deep learning models have potential for further diagnosis and prognosis of VaD. Summary: Deep learning neural networks with neuroimaging data in VaD research represent significant promise for advancing early diagnosis and treatment strategies. Ongoing research and collaboration between clinicians, data scientists, and neuroimaging experts are essential to address challenges and unlock the full potential of deep learning in VaD diagnosis and management.

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.
