Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP) is an uncommon neurodegenerative disorder with different clinical onset, including Richardson's syndrome (PSP-RS) and other variant phenotypes (vPSP). Recognising the clinical progression of different phenotypes would enhance the accuracy of detection and treatment of PSP. The study goal was to identify radiomic biomarkers for distinguishing PSP phenotypes extracted from T1-weighted magnetic resonance images (MRI).
