Collection description
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) represents a uniquely powerful tool for clinical and basic neuroscience, providing an invaluable window into the in vivo brain. In recent years, different MRI modalities have found their stable place in the clinical and/or research setting, leading to an ever-increasing number of brain imaging studies. In this context, machine learning has emerged as a powerful technique for recognizing patterns on high-dimensional MRI datasets. I present four different case studies in which brain MRI and statistical/machine learning methods are applied in different clinical populations to address specific research questions, including: (i) modelling brain MRI data using unsupervised machine learning to stratify patients with multiple sclerosis; (ii) building a model of healthy aging using deep learning and brain MRIs and testing whether patients with Fabry disease have older appearing brains compared to healthy subjects; (iii) analyzing MRI-based connectivity to study alterations of brain structural and functional networks in schizophrenia; (iv) using quantitative MRI to characterize brain iron and myelin changes in multiple sclerosis.
