BACKGROUND: Valid non-invasive biomarkers for Parkinson's disease (PD) and Parkinson-plus syndrome (PPS) are urgently needed. Based on our recent self-supervised vision foundation model the Shift Window UNET TRansformer (Swin UNETR), which uses clinical multi-contrast whole brain MRI, we aimed to develop an efficient and practical model ('SwinClassifier') for the discrimination of PD vs PPS using routine clinical MRI scans.
METHODS: We used 75,861 clinical head MRI scans including T1-weighted, T2-weighted and fluid attenuated inversion recovery imaging as a pre-training dataset to develop a foundation model, using self-supervised learning with a cross-contrast context recovery task. Then clinical head MRI scans from n = 1992 participants with PD and n = 1989 participants with PPS were used as a downstream PD vs PPS classification dataset. We then assessed SwinClassifier's performance in confusion matrices compared to a comparative self-supervised vanilla Vision Transformer (ViT) autoencoder ('ViTClassifier'), and to two convolutional neural networks (DenseNet121 and ResNet50) trained from scratch.
FINDINGS: SwinClassifier showed very good performance (F1 score 0.83, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.79-0.87], AUC 0.89) in PD vs PPS discrimination in independent test datasets (n = 173 participants with PD and n = 165 participants with PPS). This self-supervised classifier with pretrained weights outperformed the ViTClassifier and convolutional classifiers trained from scratch (F1 score 0.77-0.82, AUC 0.83-0.85). Occlusion sensitivity mapping in the correctly-classified cases (n = 160 PD and n = 114 PPS) highlighted the brain regions guiding discrimination mainly in sensorimotor and midline structures including cerebellum, brain stem, ventricle and basal ganglia.
INTERPRETATION: Our self-supervised digital model based on routine clinical head MRI discriminated PD vs PPS with good accuracy and sensitivity. With incremental improvements the approach may be diagnostically useful in early disease.
