Project updates

• Attendee: Peiwu Qin, Yifeng Xie,Yang Li, Jingyun Yang (R), Shi Lu
• Yifeng went over key slides in the presentation pvl概述-ai_2018.2.1.pptx
• Yifeng and Prof Qin answered questions about MRI data preprocessing
• Discussed the possibility of using multi-task learning for joint MRI image segmentation and hand functionality prediction.

• Discuss with Dr. Heng Liu on understanding MRI images for PVL diagnosis.
• Dr.Heng Liu introduced how to distinguish the lesion of white matter.(by color and edge)

The red arrow and white arrow points to the lesion regions while the blue arrow points to the healthy region.

• Yifeng and Dr.Heng Liu introduced how to know the specification of each image.(by pydicom)

• Dr.Heng Liu set forth the aims of speculating on the possibility of cerebral palsy.

• Attendee: Yang Li, Jingyun Yang (R)
• Jingyun Yang gave a presentation about the research of small white matter lesionswhite_matter_lesion.pdf
• Pro.Li suggested using the neural network and beginning to preprocess the data.

• Attendee: Yang Li, Jingyun Yang (R)
• Jingyun Yang gave a brief report on applications of transfer learning and multi-task in medical image.report02.25.pdf

• Attendee: Yang Li, Jingyun Yang, Yicong Li
• Meeting notes:meetingnotes01.pdf

• Attendee : Yang Li, Heng Liu, Jingyun Yang, Yicong Li
• Data update:

1. more MRI images of patients with PVL
2. new classification of hand function in 5 classes

• More symptoms of PVL:

1. A→B→C:The volum of white matter decreases while lateral ventricle and sylvian cistern become larger

1. A→B:The lateral wall of the lateral ventricle becomes irregular & B→C: Extensive cystic degeneration of the white matter around the lateral ventricle appears.

• Standards for grading disease severity：

1. Hand function
2. Visible lesions in MRI images

• Task Updata:

1. Lesions segmentation of MRI images
2. Classification of hand function
3. Counting of lesions
4. To be explored:changes of lateral ventricle
