Interpretable ML predicts Parkinson's severity using MRI and fMRI

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed an interpretable machine learning model capable of predicting Parkinson's disease motor severity using a combination of QSM MRI and multiband multiecho fMRI features. The study found that imaging-only models showed significant predictive power, with combined QSM and clinical variables explaining 45.4% of the variance in motor severity. Specifically, selected QSM and clinical features were most effective, predicting motor severity within a 5-point range for 75.0% of participants, with key features highlighted in the cerebellum, thalamus, striatum, insula, and motor cortex.
