Researchers have developed a novel Vision Transformer model, named CSV-ViT, designed to analyze brain MRI data for Alzheimer's disease pathology. This model utilizes a unique approach of variable-sized cortical supervertices (CSVs) to partition brain surface data, overcoming limitations of previous methods that struggled with non-cortical regions and duplicate vertex issues. CSV-ViT demonstrated superior classification performance in predicting AD diagnosis, amyloid positivity, and tau positivity compared to existing surface-based models, suggesting its potential for early MRI-based prediction.
