This $401,155 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health program (CFDA 93.286) will fund the development of a comprehensive software package for accurate and consistent processing and analysis of lifespan brain MRI data.

The key products to be delivered include: 1) An anatomy-guided atlas learning neural network to construct lifespan brain atlases, 2) A lifespan skull stripping framework, 3) A deep learning framework for joint artifact correction, super resolution, harmonization, and tissue segmentation, 4) An anatomically constrained topological correction network and transformer-based brain labeling, and 5) Integration of these lifespan-dedicated tools and atlases into a comprehensive software package. The software, atlases, and processed lifespan data (150,000+ scans from 50,000+ subjects) will be freely released to the public. This project aims to enable precise charting of lifespan brain changes and provide insights into neurodevelopmental, psychiatric, and neurodegenerative disorders.
