ABSTRACT

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 12 is a hereditary and neurodegenerative illness commonly found in India. However, there is no established noninvasive automatic diagnostic system for its diagnosis and identification of imaging biomarkers. This work proposes a novel four-phase machine learning-based diagnostic framework to find spinocerebellar ataxia type 12 disease-specific atrophic-brain regions and distinguish spinocerebellar ataxia type 12 from healthy using a real structural magnetic resonance imaging dataset. Firstly, each brain region is represented in terms of statistics of coefficients obtained using 3D-discrete wavelet transform. Secondly, a set of relevant regions are selected using a graph network-based method. Thirdly, a kernel support vector machine is used to capture nonlinear relationships among the voxels of a brain region. Finally, the linear relationship among the brain regions is captured to build a decision model to distinguish spinocerebellar ataxia type 12 from healthy by using the regularized logistic regression method. A classification accuracy of 95% and a harmonic mean of precision and recall, i.e. F1-score of 94.92%, is achieved. The proposed framework provides relevant regions responsible for the atrophy. The importance of each region is captured using Shapley Additive exPlanations values. We also performed a statistical analysis to find volumetric changes in spinocerebellar ataxia type 12 group compared to healthy. The promising result of the proposed framework shows that clinicians can use it for early and timely diagnosis of spinocerebellar ataxia type 12.

ABSTRACT

Spinocerebellar ataxia type 12 (SCA12) is a neurodegenerative genetic disorder triggered by abnormal CAG repeat expansion at locus 5q32. MRI recognises dissimilarities in affected areas of SCA12 patients and healthy subjects. But manual diagnosis is time-consuming and prone to subjective errors. This has motivated us in developing a systematic and authentic decision model for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) of SCA12. Four different feature extraction techniques are examined in this research work, such as First Order Statistics, GLRLM, GLCM, and GLGCM, to obtain distinguishable characteristics for differentiating SCA12 patients from healthy subjects. The model's performance is measured using sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and F1-score with leave-one-out cross-validation scheme. Our experimental results show that features based on the GLRLM can distinguish SCA12 from healthy subjects with a maximum classification accuracy of 85% among all the different function extraction techniques used.
