We developed NeuroBridge, a clinically guided multi-task MRI framework for neurodegenerative disease diagnosis.  \nMETHODS: NeuroBridge integrates large-scale self-supervised MRI pretraining with hippocampal segmentation, hippocampal atrophy classification, and reconstruction objectives, followed by gated fusion fine-tuning. Performance was evaluated across ADNI and OASIS cohorts, including cross-cohort transfer, probability-based analysis, and opportunistic screening.  \nRESULTS: NeuroBridge achieved the highest performance across evaluated classification tasks, reaching 88. 17% accuracy for AD versus cognitively normal controls in ADNI and 82.78% in OASIS. The largest gains occurred in MCI-related and mixed-diagnosis settings. The framework demonstrated strong cross-cohort generalization, systematic associations between predicted-class probability and accuracy, and the feasibility of probability-based opportunistic screening.  \nDISCUSSION: Clinically guided multi-task representation learning improves neurodegenerative MRI diagnosis beyond conventional single-task approaches. NeuroBridge provides a robust and scalable framework for dementia assessment and MRI-based opportunistic screening.  \nKeywords: Alzheimer's disease; Mild cognitive impairment; Neurodegenerative disease; Brain MRI; Magnetic resonance imaging; Deep learning; Transformer; Masked autoencoder; Foundation model; Multi-task learning; Representation learning; Cross-cohort generalization; Prediction probability analysis; Opportunistic screening; Dementia diagnosis.  \n1. BACKGROUND  \nNeurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer’s disease (AD), represent a growing global health and economic burden as populations age [1] . AD is characterized by a prolonged preclinical and prodromal phase during which subtle structural brain changes precede overt cognitive decline [2,3] . Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is an intermediate stage between cognitively normal status (CN) and dementia and is associated with a substantially increased risk of progression to dementia [4 ,5] . Timely and accurate identification of individuals in early stages of neurodegenerative diseases, as well as reliable differentiation among MCI, AD, and other dementia subtypes, is critical for early interven","cbCain9CbfA6LMau","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCain9CbfA6LMau","pdf",7828311,48,"English","# Abstract\n## Introduction\n## Methods\n## Results\n## Discussion\n# Background\n## The need for early, reliable neurodegenerative diagnosis\n## Representation learning and foundation-style MRI models\n## Clinical interpretation as multi-cue reasoning","[{\"question\":\"What problem does NeuroBridge address in MRI-based diagnosis?\",\"answer\":\"NeuroBridge addresses the challenge of accurately identifying Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment, and related dementias from MRI when structural changes are subtle and heterogeneous.\"},{\"question\":\"How is NeuroBridge built and trained?\",\"answer\":\"NeuroBridge integrates large-scale self-supervised MRI pretraining with hippocampal segmentation, hippocampal atrophy classification, and reconstruction objectives, then applies gated fusion fine-tuning.\"},{\"question\":\"What performance results are reported for NeuroBridge?\",\"answer\":\"The paper reports the highest performance across evaluated classification tasks, including 88.17% accuracy for AD versus cognitively normal controls in ADNI and 82.78% in OASIS, with the largest gains in MCI-related and mixed-diagnosis settings.\"}]","NeuroBridge - Bridging Multi-Task MRI Knowledge for Neurodegenerative Disease Diagnosis | PDF",1789976932,121]
