Biomedical Informatics Presents: Advancing Big Neuroimaging Data Analysis for Precision Diagnostics
Neuroimaging has entered the “big data” era with technologies that produce massive, complex imaging data from multiple modalities that reflect brain structure and function in disease and health. Big neuroimaging data provides unprecedented opportunities to develop computational approaches that can deliver personalized, quantitative disease indexes of diagnostic and prognostic value, and have the potential to quantify the risk of developing a disease, track disease progression or the effect of pharmacological interventions in clinical trials, and deliver patient specific diagnosis before measurable clinical effects occur. I) the high dimensionality of the data may hinder the extraction of interpretable and reproducible information; II) heterogeneity, which is increasingly recognized as a key feature of brain diseases, limits the use of current analytical tools. In this talk, Dr. Sotiras will discuss novel computational approaches that leverage advanced machine learning techniques to add
