Abstract:
Purpose To explore the application value of combining 18F-FDG PET images with interpretable deep learning radiomics(IDLR)models in the differential diagnosis of primary Parkinson's disease(IPD)and atypical Parkinson's syndrome.Materials and Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted using the Parkinson's Disease PET Imaging Benchmark Database from Huashan Hospital,Fudan University from March 2015 to February 2023.A total of 330 Parkinson's disease patients underwent 18F-FDG PET imaging,both 18F-FDG PET imaging and clinical scale information were collected for all subjects.The study included two cohorts,a training group(n=270)and a testing group(n=60),with a total of 211 cases in the IPD group,59 cases in the progressive supranuclear palsy(PSP)group,and a group of 60 patients with multiple system atrophy(MSA).The clinical information between different groups were compared.An IDLR model was developed to extract feature indicators.Under the supervision of radiomics features,IDLR features were selected from the features collected by neural network extractors,and a binary support vector machine model was constructed for the selected features in images of in testing group.The constructed IDLR model,traditional radiomics model and standard uptake ratio model were separately used to calculate the performance metrics and area under curve values of deep learning models for pairwise classification between IPD/PSP/MSA groups.The study conducted independent classification and testing in two cohorts using 100 10-fold cross-validation tests.Brain-related regions of interest were displayed through feature mapping,using gradient weighted class activation maps to highlight and visualize the most relevant information in the brain.The output heatmaps of different disease groups were examined and compared with clinical diagnostic locations.Results The IDLR model showed promising results for differentiating between Parkinson's syndrome patients.It achieved the best classification performance and had the highest area under the curve values compared to other comparative models such as the standard uptake ratio model(Z=1.22-3.23,all P<0.05),and radiomics model(Z=1.31-2.96,all P<0.05).The area under the curve values for the IDLR model in differentiating MSA and IPD were 0.935 7,for MSA and PSP were 0.975 4,for IPD and PSP were 0.982 5 in the test set.The IDLR model also showed consistency between its filtered feature maps and the visualization of gradient-weighted class activation mapping slice thermal maps in the radiomics regions of interest.Conclusion The IDLR model has the potential for differential diagnosis between IPD and atypical Parkinson's syndrome in 18F-FDG PET images.
