Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Exploring the dependencies between multimodal brain networks and integrating node features to enhance brain disease diagnosis remains a significant challenge. Some work has examined only brain connectivity changes in patients, ignoring important information about radiomics features such as shape and texture of individual brain regions in structural images. To this end, this study proposed a novel deep learning approach to integrate multimodal brain connectome information and regional radiomics features for brain disease diagnosis.
