Graph neural networks have emerged as a promising approach for the analysis of non-Euclidean data such as meshes. In medical imaging, mesh-like data plays an important role for modelling anatomical structures, and shape classification can be used in computer aided diagnosis and disease detection. However, with a plethora of options, the best architectural choices for medical shape analysis using GNNs remain unclear. We conduct a comparative analysis to provide practitioners with an overview of the current state-of-the-art in geometric deep learning for shape classification in neuroimaging. Using biological sex classification as a proof-of-concept task, we find that using FPFH as node features substantially improves GNN performance and generalisation to out-of-distribution data; we compare the performance of three alternative convolutional layers; and we reinforce the importance of data augmentation for graph based learning. We then confirm these results hold for a clinically relevant task, using the classification of Alzheimer's disease.

We present StreamNet, an autoencoder architecture for the analysis of the highly heterogeneous geometry of large collections of white matter streamlines. This proposed framework takes advantage of geometry-preserving properties of the Wasserstein-1 metric in order to achieve direct encoding and reconstruction of entire bundles of streamlines. We show that the model not only accurately captures the distributive structures of streamlines in the population, but is also able to achieve superior reconstruction performance between real and synthetic streamlines. Experimental model performance is evaluated on white matter streamlines resulting from T1-weighted diffusion imaging of 40 healthy controls using recent state of the art bundle comparison metric that measures fiber-shape similarities.
