1/8 Cardiac MRI is rich with information about the heart, but extracting usable phenotypes has always meant slow, expert annotation. What if a model could learn those phenotypes itself, straight from the images, with no labels? It can. Now out in Nature Communications 🧵

8/8 I had the privilege of co-leading this with @OmettoSara, as joint first authors. Conceived and led in @C_Glastonbury's lab at @humantechnopole. Thanks to every co-author @sodbosha @EmanuelSoda1 @francescocist9 @FraIev84 @Di_Angelantonio @NPirastu and others

4/8 Do these learnt traits mean anything biologically? They do. Across 71,017 UK Biobank participants, they proved reproducible across repeat scans, heritable (SNP-based h² of 4 to 18%), and significantly associated with cardiometabolic health.

2/8 The model is a 3D diffusion autoencoder. An encoder compresses each temporally resolved (moving) scan into a compact, low-dimensional latent vector. A diffusion decoder then learns to reconstruct the heart from it by reversing a Gaussian noising process.

🚀 Honoured to mentor at the 7th @HarvardHSI Hackathon! Organised by the @HarvardChanSPH, this global event comes to #MIND, #Milan on 10 & 11 April, thanks to @LaStatale, @polimi, @humantechnopole & SIIAM. Let us rethink health systems together to create a lasting impact!

[3/4] 📊 Validated on two datasets, the models handled severe class imbalance robustly: 🏆 Peak F1-score (classification): 0.93 ✅ Tumour-only accuracy (classification): 98.74% (outperforming state-of-the-art glioma grading classifiers!) 🎯 Median Dice (segmentation): 0.728

[3/3] LUMEN pipeline offers a more accurate and detailed characterisation of vessel morphology than traditional 2D MIP analysis, providing a powerful open-source tool to advance research into the pathophysiology of CSVD Open-source pipeline: lnkd.in/eiPvhgb4 #ai #vessel

[2/3] Our "old" deep learning framework, #DS6, showed remarkable robustness. Originally developed for and trained on healthy data, it excelled on a challenging clinical dataset #CamSVD, surpassing the widely-used nnU-Net with superior sensitivity for detecting weak vessel signals
