ak-MPPCA Architecture
Structure-aware Adaptive Kernel MPPCA Denoising for Diffusion MRI
Ananya Singhal, Dattesh Dayanand Shanbhag, Sudhanya Chatterjee
Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBC 2026) · Toronto, Canada
Gradient-informed structural prior that dynamically adjusts kernel geometry per-voxel for high b-value diffusion MRI in oncology. Leverages local tissue anisotropy to preserve sharp tumor boundaries whilst aggressively suppressing noise. 18% SNR gain with 96% tissue boundary preservation vs. fixed-size MPPCA baselines on HCP data at b-values of 5000–10000 s/mm².

ARMARecon Architecture
ARMARecon: ARMA Convolutional Filter Based GNN for Neurodegenerative Dementia Classification
VSS Tejaswi Abburi, Ananya Singhal, Saurabh J. Shigwan, Nitin Kumar
International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging (ISBI 2026) · London, UK
Novel GNN integrating ARMA spectral filtering with reconstruction-driven regularisation — first approach to jointly address over-smoothing and over-squashing in sparse-label neuroimaging graphs. Represents entire cohorts as connected graphs where nodes encode neuroanatomical features and edges capture inter-subject similarity. 98.3% accuracy CN vs. MCI, 99.7% CN vs. AD on ADNI dataset (>3% above GCN/GAT baselines).

Swin-Transformer Architecture
Deep Learning Framework using Sparse Diffusion MRI for Diagnosis of Frontotemporal Dementia
Abhishek Tiwari, Ananya Singhal, Saurabh J. Shigwan, Rajeev Kumar Singh
BioImage Computing Workshop, International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV 2023) · Paris, France
Swin-Transformer architecture for quantitative diffusion tensor imaging maintaining diagnostic accuracy with 50%+ fewer gradient directions (5–21 vs. standard 41). Voxel-wise TBSS analysis maps disease-specific white matter degradation for tract-level FTD classification without full acquisition. Custom loss function enforces positive-definiteness and biophysical coherence in diffusion tensor estimates.

Swin-Transformer Architecture
Early Diagnosis of Alzheimer through Swin-Transformer-Based Deep Learning Framework using Sparse Diffusion Measures
Abhishek Tiwari, Ananya Singhal, Saurabh J. Shigwan, Rajeev Kumar Singh
Asian Conference on Machine Learning (ACML 2023) · Istanbul, Turkey
Swin-Transformer framework for estimating FA, AxD, and MD diffusion tensor measurements using only 5 and 21 gradient directions vs. the standard 41. Outperforms linear least squares and Transformer-DTI baselines while reducing scanning time by over half. Validated on the ADNI dataset with TBSS spatial statistics analysis of white matter tracts.
