The invention discloses an infant dyspepsia early warning method based on cerebral
white matter network propagation dynamics abnormity, and relates to the technical field of brain
image analysis and intelligent risk prediction. According to the method, firstly, standard preprocessing is carried out on infant
brain MRI or DWI image data, and a structural connection network is constructed based on a newborn template; then, a linear
threshold model (LTM) is introduced to simulate the
diffusion process of information in the
brain network, and multiple propagation dynamic characteristics including
propagation time, diffusivity, cooperative speed-up ratio, competitive indexes and the like are extracted; based on the above characteristics, a
random forest regression model is used to predict
cognition, language and movement development scales of 18 months old, and a key propagation
brain region is identified through characteristic importance analysis. According to the method, non-invasive, automatic and structure-driven early development
risk assessment can be realized, and the method has relatively high generalizability and clinical application potential.
