A Self-supervised Deep Learning Model for Diagonal Sulcus Detection with Limited Labeled Data

We developed a deep learning model for detecting the diagonal sulcus (ds), a tertiary brain sulcus critical for language processing. Using a fine-tuned convolutional autoencoder, our approach achieved state-of-the-art accuracy, outperforming traditional software and other deep learning models. The method leverages self-supervised learning and provides interpretable results aligned with expert annotations, enabling population studies of ds prevalence.
