This study investigated the relevance of visual and semi-quantitative interpretation methods for the diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson disease (IPD) in hybrid positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging. The findings suggest that visual PET metrics and the minimum striatal to occipital SUV ratio are the most important contributors to predicting IPD diagnosis, indicating potential for simple semi-automated diagnostic workflows.
PurposeTo decipher the relevance of visual and semi-quantitative 6-fluoro-(18F)-L-DOPA (F-18-DOPA) interpretation methods for the diagnostic of idiopathic Parkinson disease (IPD) in hybrid positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging.Material and methodsA total of 110 consecutive patients (48 IPD and 62 controls) with 11 months of median clinical follow-up (reference standard) were included. A composite visual assessment from five independent nuclear imaging readers, together with striatal standard uptake value (SUV) to occipital SUV ratio, striatal gradients and putamen asymmetry-based semi-quantitative PET metrics automatically extracted used to train machine learning models to classify IPD versus controls. Using a ratio of 70/30 for training and testing sets, respectively, five classification models-k-NN, LogRegression, support vector machine, random forest and gradient boosting-were trained by using 100 times repeated nested cross-validation procedures. From the best model on average, the contribution of PET parameters was deciphered using the Shapley additive explanations method (SHAP). Cross-validated receiver operating characteristic curves (cv-ROC) of the most contributive PET parameters were finally estimated and compared.ResultsThe best machine learning model (k-NN) provided final cv-ROC of 0.81. According to SHAP analyses, visual PET metric was the most important contributor to the model overall performance, followed by the minimum between left and right striatal to occipital SUV ratio. The 10-time cv-ROC curves of visual, min SUVr or both showed quite similar performance (mean area under the ROC of 0.81, 0.81 and 0.79, respectively, for visual, min SUVr or both).ConclusionVisual expert analysis remains the most relevant parameter to predict IPD diagnosis at 11 months of median clinical follow-up in F-18-FDOPA. The min SUV ratio appears interesting in the perspective of simple semi-automated diagnostic workflows.
