Do radiomics or diffusion-tensor images provide additional information to predict brain amyloid-beta positivity?

ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to predict amyloid-beta positivity using a conventional T1-weighted image, radiomics, and a diffusion-tensor image obtained by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We included 186 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) who underwent Florbetaben positron emission tomography (PET), MRI (three-dimensional T1-weighted and diffusion-tensor images), and neuropsychological tests at the Asan Medical Center. We developed a stepwise machine learning algorithm using demographics, T1 MRI features (volume, cortical thickness and radiomics), and diffusion-tensor image to distinguish amyloid-beta positivity on Florbetaben PET. We compared the performance of each algorithm based on the MRI features used. The study population included 72 patients with MCI in the amyloid
