Title: | Genetic algorithm-based PCA eigenvector selection and weighting for automated identification of dementia using FDG-PET imaging | Authors: | Xia, Y Wen, L Eberl, S Fulham, MJ Feng, DD |
Issue Date: | 2008 | Source: | Proceedings of the 30th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society : personalized healthcare through technology : August 20-24, 2008, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, p. 4812-4815 | Abstract: | Parametric FDG-PET data offer the potential for an automated identification of the different dementia syndromes. Principal component analysis (PCA) can be used for feature extraction in FDG-PET. However, standard PCA is not always successful in delineating the features that have the best discrimination ability. We report a genetic algorithm-based method to identify an optimal combination of eigenvectors so that the resultant features are capable of successfully separating patients with suspected Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia from normal controls. We compared our approach with standard PCA on a set of 210 clinical cases and improved the performance in separating the dementia types with an accuracy of 90.0% and a Kappa statistic of 0.849. There was very good agreement between the automated technique and the diagnosis given by clinicians. | Keywords: | Algorithms Alzheimer Disease Brain Dementia Diagnosis, Differential Fluorodeoxyglucose F18 Humans Image Enhancement Image Interpretation, Computer-Assisted Positron-Emission Tomography Principal Component Analysis Radiopharmaceuticals Reproducibility of Results Sensitivity and Specificity |
