Abstract

Early identification of dementia in the early or late stages of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is crucial for a timely diagnosis and slowing down the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Positron emission tomography (PET) is considered a highly powerful diagnostic biomarker, but few approaches investigated the efficacy of focusing on localized PET-active areas for classification purposes. In this work, we propose a pipeline using learned features from semantically labelled PET images to perform group classification. A deformable multimodal PET-MRI registration method is employed to fuse an annotated MNI template to each patient-specific PET scan, generating a fully labelled volume from which 10 common regions of interest used for AD diagnosis are extracted. The method was evaluated on 660 subjects from the ADNI database, yielding a classification accuracy of 91.2% for AD versus NC when using random forests combining features from cross-sectional and follow-up exams. A considerable improvement in the early versus late MCI classification accuracy was achieved using FDG-PET compared to the AV-45 compound, yielding a 72.5% rate. The pipeline demonstrates the potential of exploiting longitudinal multiregion PET features to improve cognitive assessment.

从语义分割的 PET 图像对阿尔茨海默氏症和 MCI 患者进行分类:AV45 和 FDG-PET 的比较。
早期识别轻度认知障碍(MCI)早期或晚期的痴呆症对于及时诊断和延缓阿尔茨海默病(AD)的进展至关重要。正电子发射断层扫描(PET)被认为是一种功能强大的诊断生物标志物,但很少有方法研究过将重点放在局部 PET 活跃区域进行分类的有效性。在这项工作中,我们提出了一种利用从语义标记的 PET 图像中学习到的特征来进行群体分类的方法。我们采用了一种可变形的多模态 PET-MRI 配准方法,将注释过的 MNI 模板融合到每个患者特定的 PET 扫描中,生成一个完全标记的体积,从中提取出 10 个用于诊断 AD 的常见感兴趣区。该方法在 ADNI 数据库的 660 名受试者身上进行了评估,当使用结合横断面和随访检查特征的随机森林时,AD 与 NC 的分类准确率为 91.2%。使用 FDG-PET 与 AV-45 复合物相比,早期 MCI 与晚期 MCI 的分类准确率有了显著提高,达到了 72.5%。该管道展示了利用纵向多区域 PET 特征改进认知评估的潜力。
