Identifying current and remitted major depressive disorder with the Hurst exponent: a comparative study on two automated anatomical labeling atlases.

ABSTRACT: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a leading world-wide psychiatric disorder with high recurrence rate, therefore, it is desirable to identify current MDD (cMDD) and remitted MDD (rMDD) for their appropriate therapeutic interventions. In the study, 19 cMDD, 19 rMDD and 19 well-matched healthy controls (HC) were enrolled and scanned with the resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). The Hurst exponent (HE) of rs-fMRI in AAL-90 and AAL-1024 atlases were calculated and compared between groups. Then, a radial basis function (RBF) based support vector machine was proposed to identify every pair of the cMDD, rMDD and HC groups using the abnormal HE features, and a leave-one-out cross-validation was used to evaluate the classification performance. Applying the proposed method with AAL-1024 and AAL-90 atlas respectively, 87% and 84% subjects were correctly identified between cMDD and HC, 84% and 71% between rMDD and HC, and 89% and 74% between cMDD and rMDD. Our results indicated that the HE was an effective feature to distinguish cMDD and rMDD from HC, and the recognition performances with AAL-1024 parcellation were better than that with the conventional AAL-90 parcellation.

Project description:In general, the Hurst exponent. is used as a measure of long-term memory of time series. In previous neuroimaging studies, H has been introduced as one important parameter to define resting-state networks, reflecting upon global scale-free properties emerging from a network. H has been examined in the waiting impulsivity (WI) network in an earlier study. We found that alterations of H in the anterior cingulate cortex (H A C C ) and the nucleus accumbens (H N A c c ) were lower in high impulsive (highIMP) compared to low impulsive (lowIMP) participants. Following up on those findings, we addressed the relation between altered fractality in H A C C and H N A c c and brain activation and neural network connectivity. To do so, brain activation maps were calculated, and network connectivity was determined using the Dynamic Causal Modeling (DCM) approach. Finally, 1-H scores were determined to quantify the alterations of H. This way, the focus of the analyses was placed on the potential effects of alterations of H on neural network activation and connectivity. Correlation analyses between the alterations of H A C C /H N A c c and activation maps and DCM estimates were performed. We found that the alterations of H predominantly correlated with fronto-hippocampal pathways and correlations were significant only in highIMP subjects. For example, alterations of H A C C was associated with a decrease in neural activation in the right HC in combination with increased ACC-hippocampal connectivity. Alteration inH N A c c , in return, was related to an increase in bilateral prefrontal activation in combination with increased fronto-hippocampal connectivity. The findings, that the WI network was related to H alteration in highIMP subjects indicated that impulse control was not reduced per se but lacked consistency. Additionally, H has been used to describe long-term memory processes before, e.g., in capital markets, energy future prices, and human memory. Thus, current findings supported the relation of H toward memory processing even when further prominent cognitive functions were involved.

Project description:Background and purpose: Anatomical labeling of the cerebral vasculature is a crucial topic in determining the morphological nature and characterizing the vital variations of vessels, yet precise labeling of the intracranial arteries is time-consuming and challenging, given anatomical structural variability and surging imaging data. We present a U-Net-based deep learning (DL) model to automatically label detailed anatomical segments in computed tomography angiography (CTA) for the first time. The trained DL algorithm was further tested on a clinically relevant set for the localization of intracranial aneurysms (IAs). Methods: 457 examinations with varying degrees of arterial stenosis were used to train, validate, and test the model, aiming to automatically label 42 segments of the intracranial arteries [e.g., 7 segments of the internal carotid artery (ICA)]. Evaluation metrics included Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), mean surface distance (MSD), and Hausdorff distance (HD). Additionally, 96 examinations containing at least one IA were enrolled to assess the model's potential in enhancing clinicians' precision in IA localization. A total of 5 clinicians with different experience levels participated as readers in the clinical experiment and identified the precise location of IA without and with algorithm assistance, where there was a washout period of 14 days between two interpretations. The diagnostic accuracy, time, and mean interrater agreement (Fleiss' Kappa) were calculated to assess the differences in clinical performance of clinicians. Results: The proposed model exhibited notable labeling performance on 42 segments that included 7 anatomical segments of ICA, with the mean DSC of 0.88, MSD of 0.82 mm and HD of 6.59 mm. Furthermore, the model demonstrated superior labeling performance in healthy subjects compared to patients with stenosis (DSC: 0.91 vs. 0.89, p < 0.05; HD: 4.75 vs. 6.19, p < 0.05). Concurrently, clinicians with model predictions achieved significant improvements when interpreting the precise location of IA. The clinicians' mean accuracy increased by 0.04 (p = 0.003), mean time to diagnosis reduced by 9.76 s (p < 0.001), and mean interrater agreement (Fleiss' Kappa) increased by 0.07 (p = 0.029). Conclusion: Our model stands proficient for labeling intracranial arteries using the largest CTA dataset. Crucially, it demonstrates clinical utility, helping prioritize the patients with high risks and ease clinical workload.
