Abstract: A computer system may receive medical-imaging data associated with at least an individual. Then, the computer system may compute, based at least in part on the medical-imaging data, a set of white-matter disease biomarkers for different neurological anatomical regions, where, for a given neurological anatomical region, the set of white-matter disease biomarkers includes: an apparent fiber density that corresponds to a total intra-axonal volume, an amount of free water, and a demyelination metric. Next, the computer system may provide feedback information associated with at least the individual based at least in part on interrelationships among the computed set of white-matter disease biomarkers in different neurological anatomical regions. For example, the feedback information may include: diagnostic information, information associated with disease progression (such as a disease stage), information regarding efficacy of a treatment, or a treatment recommendation (e.g.

Abstract: A computer system that computes second tractography results is described. This computer may include: a computation device (such as a processor, a graphics processing unit or GPU, etc.) that executes program instructions; and memory that stores the program instructions. During operation, the computer system receives information specifying tractography results that specify a set of neurological fibers. Then, the computer system computes, using a predetermined (e.g., pretrained) autoencoder neural network, the second tractography results that specify a second set of neurological fibers based at least in part on the tractography results and information associated with a neurological anatomical region. For example, a subset of the set of neurological fibers may be anatomically implausible and the second set of fibers may exclude the subset. Note that the predetermined autoencoder neural network may be trained using an unsupervised-learning technique.
