Abstract [eng] This paper presents a novel approach to improving the detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) through the use of super-resolved structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and optimized deep learning models. The study introduces enhancements to the perceptual quality of super-resolved 2D structural MRI images using advanced loss functions, modifications to the upscaler part of the generator, and experiments with various discriminators within a generative adversarial training setting. It empirically demonstrates the effectiveness of super-resolution in the MCI detection task, showcasing performance improvements across different state-of-the-art classification models. The paper also addresses the challenge of accurately capturing perceptual image quality, particularly when images contain checkerboard artifacts, and proposes a methodology that incorporates hyperparameter optimization through a Pareto optimal Markov blanket (POMB). This approach systematically explores the hyperparameter space, focusing on reducing overfitting and enhancing model generalizability. The research findings contribute to the field by demonstrating that super-resolution can significantly improve the quality of MRI images for MCI detection, highlighting the importance of choosing an adequate discriminator and the potential of super-resolution as a preprocessing step to boost classification model performance.
