Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

PURPOSE: To create a Python-based toolbox to simulate commonly occurring artifacts for single voxel gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-edited MRS data. METHODS: The toolbox was designed to maximize user flexibility and contains artifact, applied, input/output (I/O), and support functions. The artifact functions can produce spurious echoes, eddy currents, nuisance peaks, line broadening, baseline contamination, linear frequency drifts, and frequency and phase shift artifacts. Applied functions combine or apply specific parameter values to produce recognizable effects such as lipid peak and motion contamination. I/O and support functions provide additional functionality to accommodate different kinds of input data (MATLAB FID-A.mat files, NIfTI-MRS files), which vary by domain (time vs. frequency), MRS data type (e.g., edited vs. non-edited) and scale. A frequency and phase correction machine learning model experiment trained on corrupted simulated data and validated on in vivo data is shown to highlight the utility of our toolbox. RESULTS: Data simulated from the toolbox are complementary for research applications, as demonstrated by training a frequency and phase correction deep learning model that is applied to in vivo data containing artifacts. Visual assessment also confirms the resemblance of simulated artifacts compared to artifacts found in in vivo data. CONCLUSION: Our easy to install Python artifact simulated toolbox SMART_MRS is useful to enhance the diversity and quality of existing simulated edited-MRS data and is complementary to existing MRS simulation software.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
