The field of neuroimaging and machine learning is rapidly advancing, with a focus on improving disease diagnosis and progression modeling. Recent studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of deep learning techniques, such as graph neural networks and transformers, in analyzing medical images and predicting disease outcomes. For example, researchers have developed models that can accurately predict breast cancer sites and segment tumors from dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI images. Additionally, studies have shown that integrating causal inference with graph neural networks can identify brain regions that exert stable causal influence on Alzheimer's disease progression. Noteworthy papers include the development of a deformation-aware graph neural network for real-time prediction of breast cancer sites, and the proposal of a novel framework that uses Large Language Models as expert guides to enhance learning of disease progression from longitudinal patient data. These advances have the potential to significantly improve disease diagnosis and treatment, and highlight the importance of continued research in this area.
