Abstract excerpt
Biobank-scale imaging provides an unprecedented opportunity to characterise how thousands of organ phenotypes vary in populations. However, deriving specific phenotypes from imaging data requires time-consuming expert annotation, limiting scalability. In this study, we develop a 3D diffusion autoencoder to derive latent phenotypes from temporally resolved cardiac MRI data of 71,017 UK Biobank participants. These...
