Deep Learning-Based Algorithm for Automatic Quantification of Nigrosome-1 and Parkinsonism Classification Using Susceptibility Map-Weighted MRI.

AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The diagnostic performance of deep learning model that simultaneously detecting and quantifying nigrosome-1 abnormality by using susceptibility map-weighted imaging (SMwI) remains unexplored. This study aimed to develop and va...

SR-TWAS: leveraging multiple reference panels to improve transcriptome-wide association study power by ensemble machine learning.

Nature communications
Multiple reference panels of a given tissue or multiple tissues often exist, and multiple regression methods could be used for training gene expression imputation models for transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS). To leverage expression imputa...

Enhancing Nigrosome-1 Sign Identification via Interpretable AI using True Susceptibility Weighted Imaging.

Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI
BACKGROUND: Nigrosome 1 (N1), the largest nigrosome region in the ventrolateral area of the substantia nigra pars compacta, is identifiable by the "N1 sign" in long echo time gradient echo MRI. The N1 sign's absence is a vital Parkinson's disease (PD...

Deep learning-based image analysis identifies a DAT-negative subpopulation of dopaminergic neurons in the lateral Substantia nigra.

Communications biology
Here we present a deep learning-based image analysis platform (DLAP), tailored to autonomously quantify cell numbers, and fluorescence signals within cellular compartments, derived from RNAscope or immunohistochemistry. We utilised DLAP to analyse su...

Denoising approach with deep learning-based reconstruction for neuromelanin-sensitive MRI: image quality and diagnostic performance.

Japanese journal of radiology
PURPOSE: Neuromelanin-sensitive MRI (NM-MRI) has proven useful for diagnosing Parkinson's disease (PD) by showing reduced signals in the substantia nigra (SN) and locus coeruleus (LC), but requires a long scan time. The aim of this study was to asses...

Deep Learning-Based Neuromelanin MRI Changes of Isolated REM Sleep Behavior Disorder.

Movement disorders : official journal of the Movement Disorder Society
BACKGROUND: Isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is considered a prodromal stage of parkinsonism. Neurodegenerative changes in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) in parkinsonism can be detected using neuromelanin-sensitive MRI.

Automated segmentation of deep brain nuclei using convolutional neural networks and susceptibility weighted imaging.

Human brain mapping
The advent of susceptibility-sensitive MRI techniques, such as susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI), has enabled accurate in vivo visualization and quantification of iron deposition within the human brain. Although previous approaches have been intr...

A Basal Ganglia Computational Model to Explain the Paradoxical Sensorial Improvement in the Presence of Huntington's Disease.

International journal of neural systems
The basal ganglia (BG) represent a critical center of the nervous system for sensorial discrimination. Although it is known that Huntington's disease (HD) affects this brain area, it still remains unclear how HD patients achieve paradoxical improveme...

A preliminary attempt to visualize nigrosome 1 in the substantia nigra for Parkinson's disease at 3T: An efficient susceptibility map-weighted imaging (SMWI) with quantitative susceptibility mapping using deep neural network (QSMnet).

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Visibility of nigrosome 1 in the substantia nigra (SN) is used as an MR imaging biomarker for Parkinson's disease. Because of lower susceptibility induced tissue contrast and SNR visualization of the SN pars compacta (SNPC) using conventiona...
