This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853) program, provides $476,993 to Yale University to develop new methods for measuring white matter hyperintensities (WMH) using low-field portable MRI (PMRI) technology. The project aims to create both a qualitative WMH grading scale and a quantitative machine learning-based WMH volume measurement system optimized for PMRI imaging characteristics. This will involve enrolling 100 participants to receive both PMRI and high-field 3T MRI scans, with an expert panel using the Delphi method to develop and validate the low-field WMH scale. Concurrently, advanced machine learning techniques will be utilized to precisely quantify WMH volume on PMRI. Upon validation, the new WMH measurement methods will be made available through the popular FreeSurfer software package and implemented in ongoing PMRI-based brain health assessments in real-world settings. The project runs from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2026.
