Researchers have developed a novel graph neural network model, MT-GNN, capable of predicting the evolution of brain structure shapes over time. This model focuses on predicting the intrinsic geometry of a surface, specifically the metric tensor, for arbitrary historical scan data and prediction horizons. When tested on 14 subcortical structures from the ADNI dataset, MT-GNN demonstrated superior prediction accuracy compared to existing methods, showing a mean vertex error of -2.29% and outperforming geodesic shape regression and a mesh transformer.
