Synopsis
We developed a framework utilizing MR fingerprinting and a complex-valued neural network to detect brain amyloid burden. The tailored neural network was trained on real amyloid-PET imaging data and MR fingerprinting acquisitions to estimate PET-derived amyloid deposition from the MR fingerprinting signal evolutions. This complex-valued neural network architecture, designed to increase sensitivity to amyloid-related signals, showed a subject-level amyloid positivity classification with AUC = 0.87 in patients with cognitive decline. The proposed method enables non-invasive amyloid burden mapping, T1 and T2 mapping in a single scan, and is suitable not only for diagnosis but also for monitoring amyloid-reducing treatments.
