BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) pose significant challenges to public health and underscore the need for accurate and early diagnostic tools. Structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) combined with advanced analytical techniques like convolutional neural networks (CNNs) seemed to offer a promising avenue for the diagnosis of these conditions. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of CNN algorithms applied to sMRI data in differentiating between AD, MCI, and normal cognition (NC).
METHODS: Following the PRISMA-DTA guidelines, a comprehensive literature search was carried out in PubMed and Web of Science databases for studies published between 2018 and 2024. Studies were included if they employed CNNs for the diagnostic classification of sMRI data from participants with AD, MCI, or NC. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the QUADAS-2 and METRICS tools. Data extraction and statistical analysis were performed to calculate pooled diagnostic accuracy metrics.
RESULTS: A total of 21 studies were included in the study, comprising 16,139 participants in the analysis. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of CNN algorithms for differentiating AD from NC were 0.92 and 0.91, respectively. For distinguishing MCI from NC, the pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.74 and 0.79, respectively. The algorithms also showed a moderate ability to differentiate AD from MCI, with a pooled sensitivity and specificity of 0.73 and 0.79, respectively. In the pMCI versus sMCI classification, a pooled sensitivity was 0.69 and a specificity was 0.81. Heterogeneity across studies was significant, as indicated by meta-regression results.
CONCLUSION: CNN algorithms demonstrated promising diagnostic performance in differentiating AD, MCI, and NC using sMRI data. The highest accuracy was observed in distinguishing AD from NC and the lowest accuracy observed in distinguishing pMCI from sMCI. These findings suggest that CNN-based radiomics has the potential to serve as a valuable tool in the diagnostic armamentarium for neurodegenerative diseases. However, the heterogeneity among studies indicates a need for further methodological refinement and validation.
TRIAL REGISTRATION: This systematic review was registered in PROSPERO (Registration ID: CRD42022295408).
