Abstract:

 

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the midbrain is the primary means for the diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, it is difficult to diagnose PD manually using MR images. Therefore, we developed an automatic diagnostic system for PD based on deep learning using midbrain MR images. The system is component of two neural networks. The first one is the Faster R-CNN, which identifies the areas that may be used for PD diagnosis from midbrain MR images. As Parkinsonian images are highly similar, the non-diagnostic areas that can’t be used for diagnosis may also be detected by the network during the detection of the areas of interest. Thus, we have three types of identified images, namely, normal, Parkinsonian, and non-diagnostic images. The second neural network is a convolutional neural network defined herein, which classifies the areas identified in the first network. We used MR images of 350 patients for training and testing, and the results showed this system exhibits a higher accuracy in PD diagnosis.
