Key points

  • An invertible neural network, or INN, based image translation narrows the contrast gap between BOLD and T1w images.
  • The method applies structural preservation constraints through the MIND-SSC, a modality-independent neighborhood descriptor.
  • Test-time adaptation, or TTA, provides out-of-distribution robustness to scanner and population shifts.
  • The network is trained with a single contrast-similarity objective, so no distortion-correction ground truth is needed.
  • It consistently outperforms prior calibration-free methods on one in-distribution and two out-of-distribution datasets.
