MRI-Based Radiomics of Basal Nuclei in Differentiating Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease From Parkinsonian Variants of Multiple System Atrophy: A Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging Study.

ABSTRACT: Objectives: To investigate the value of MRI-based radiomic model based on the radiomic features of different basal nuclei in differentiating idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) from Parkinsonian variants of multiple system atrophy (MSA-P).

Methods: Radiomics was applied to the 3T susceptibility- weighted imaging (SWI) from 102 MSA-P patients and 83 IPD patients (allocated to a training and a testing cohort, 7:3 ratio). The substantia nigra (SN), caudate nucleus (CN), putamen (PUT), globus pallidus (GP), red nucleus (RN), and subthalamic nucleus (STN) were manually segmented, and 396 features were extracted. After feature selection, support vector machine (SVM) was generated, and its predictive performance was calculated in both the training and testing cohorts using the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).

Results: Seven radiomic features were selected from the PUT, by which the SVM classifier achieved the best diagnostic performance with an AUC of 0.867 in the training cohort and an AUC of 0.862 in the testing cohort. Furthermore, the combined model, which incorporating part III of the Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRSIII) scores into radiomic features of the PUT, further improved the diagnostic performance. However, radiomic features extracted from RN, SN, GP, CN, and STN had moderate to poor diagnostic performance, with AUC values that ranged from 0.610 to 0.788 in the training cohort and 0.583 to 0.766 in the testing cohort.

Conclusion: Radiomic features derived from the PUT had optimal value in differentiating IPD from MSA-P. A combined radiomic model, which contained radiomic features of the PUT and UPDRSIII scores, further improved performance and may represent a promising tool for distinguishing between IPD and MSA-P.

Project description:BackgroundSpinal metastasis and multiple myeloma share many overlapping conventional radiographic imaging characteristics, thus, their differentiation may be challenging. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate an MRI-based radiomics nomogram for the differentiation of spinal metastasis and multiple myeloma.Materials and methodsA total of 312 patients (training set: n = 146, validation set: n = 65, our center; external test set: n = 101, two other centers) with spinal metastasis (n = 196) and multiple myeloma (n = 116) were retrospectively enrolled. Demographics and MRI findings were assessed to build a clinical factor model. Radiomics features were extracted from MRI images. A radiomics model was constructed by the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method. A radiomics nomogram combining the radiomics signature and independent clinical factors was constructed. And, one experienced radiologist reviewed the MRI images for all case. The diagnostic performance of the different models was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic curves.ResultsA clinical factors model was built based on heterogeneous appearance and shape. Twenty-one features were used to build the radiomics signature. The area under the curve (AUC) values of the radiomics nomogram (0.853 and 0.762, respectively) were significantly higher than that of the clinical factor model (0.692 and 0.540, respectively) in both validation (p = 0.048) and external test (p < 0.001) sets. The AUC values of the radiomics nomogram model were higher than that of radiologist in training, validation and external test sets (all p < 0.05). Moreover, no significant difference in AUC values of radiomics nomogram model was found between the validation set and external test set (p = 0.212).ConclusionThe radiomics nomogram can differentiate spinal metastasis and multiple myeloma with a moderate to good performance, and may be as a valuable method to assist in the clinical diagnosis and preoperative decision-making.

Project description:Models which assess the progression of Lewy pathology in Parkinson's disease have proposed ascending spread in a caudal-rostral pattern. In-vivo human evidence for this theory is limited, in part because there are no biomarkers that allow for direct assessment of Lewy pathology. Here, we measured neurodegeneration via MRI, an outcome which may serve as a proxy for a more direct assessment of ascending models using a combination of (1) MRI-based measures of gray matter density and (2) regions of interest (ROIs) corresponding to cortical and subcortical loci implicated in past MRI and stereological studies of Parkinson's disease. Gray matter density was measured using brain MRI voxel-based morphometry from three cohorts: (1) early Parkinson's disease, (2) more advanced Parkinson's disease and (3) healthy controls. Early Parkinson's disease patients (N = 228, mean age = 61.9 years, mean disease duration = 0.6 years) were newly diagnosed by the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI). Advanced Parkinson's disease patients (N = 136, mean age = 63.5 years, mean disease duration = 8.0 years) were collected retrospectively from a local cohort undergoing evaluation for functional neurosurgery. Control subjects (N = 103, mean age = 60.2 years) were from PPMI. Comparative analyses focused on gray matter regions ranging from deep gray subcortical structures to the neocortex. ROIs were defined with existing probabilistic cytoarchitectonic brain maps. For subcortical regions of the basal forebrain, amygdala, and entorhinal cortex, advanced Parkinson's disease patients had significantly lower gray matter density when compared to both early Parkinson's disease and healthy controls. No differences were seen in neocortical regions that are "higher" in any proposed ascending pattern. Across early and advanced Parkinson's disease, gray matter density from nearly all subcortical regions significantly decreased with disease duration; no neocortical regions showed this effect. These results demonstrate that atrophy in advanced Parkinson's patients compared to early patients and healthy controls is largely confined to subcortical gray matter structures. The degree of atrophy in subcortical brain regions was linked to overall disease duration, suggesting an organized pattern of atrophy across severity.
