Jinghang Li (李京θˆͺοΌ‰

I am a graduate student at the University of Pittsburgh and I am a part of 7T RF Research Facility and Geriatric Psychiatry Neuroimaging Lab. My research focus entails applying deep learning models to medical image analysis.

I'm interested in computer vision, deep learning, and image processing. Much of my research is about applying deep learning models on MR images where I investigated domain adaptation, image segmentaion, registration, and generative models.

A conditional generative model that synthesizes T2w-TSE contrast from routinely acquired T1w images, recovering motion-corrupted hippocampal MRI without re-scanning. 7Tβ†’3T transfer reaches subfield-volume correlation r=0.87–0.97 and improves analyzable subjects by 31.8%, with under 30 s full-volume single-step inference.

wmh_seg: Transformer based U-Net for Robust and Automatic White Matter Hyperintensity Segmentation across 1.5 T, 3T and 7T.

We leveraged a SegFormer backbone with heavy MR data augmentation for white matter hyperintensity segmentation on 1.5T, 3T, and 7T FLAIR images. Our model offers the most accurate segmentations on 7T FLAIR images.

paper

We implemented a 3-D cVAE conditioned on age, trained on the T1/T2 ratio image (a proxy for overall white-matter health), and used it to investigate sex differences in white-matter aging.
