Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) patients account for over 70% of all TBI, with some experiencing persistent post concussive symptoms. Here we present a novel method for latent feature extraction from acute volumetric MRI and show how it improved our 18-month symptom prediction in patients.
Figure 1: Graphical Model for the brain region volumetric matrix factorization. C = {Cik} is brain region adjacency matrix, B and Z are latent brain region and factor feature matrices with Bi and Zk representing brain-region specific and factor-specific latent feature vectors. Pj represents patient latent vector for patient j. Rij represents the volumetric observation (value) of brain region i for patient j.
