Identification of Novel Diagnostic Neuroimaging Biomarkers for Autism Spectrum Disorder Through Convolutional Neural Network-Based Analysis of Functional, Structural, and Diffusion Tensor Imaging Data Towards Enhanced Autism Diagnosis [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Autism spectrum disorder is one of the leading neurodevelopmental disorders in our world, present in over 1% of the population and rapidly increasing in prevalence, yet the condition lacks a robust, objective, and efficient diagnostic. Clinical diagnostic criteria rely on subjective behavioral assessments, which are prone to misdiagnosis as they face ...
