Deep Learning Based Early Diagnostics of Parkinsons Disease

Abstract: In the world, about 7 to 10 million elderly people are suffering from Parkinson's Disease (PD) disease. Parkinson's disease is a common neurological degenerative disease, and its clinical characteristics are Tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia, and decreased autonomy. Its clinical manifestations are very similar to Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) disorders. Studies have shown that patients with Parkinson's disease often reach an irreparable situation when diagnosed, so As Parkinson's disease can be distinguished from MSA disease and get an early diagnosis, people are constantly exploring new methods. With the advent of the era of big data, deep learning has made major breakthroughs in image recognition and classification. Therefore, this study proposes to use The deep learning method to realize the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, and healthy people. This data source is from Istanbul University Cerrahpasa Faculty of Medicine Hospital. The processing of the original magnetic resonance image (Magnetic Resonance Image, MRI) is guided by the doctor of Istanbul University Cerrahpasa Faculty of Medicine Hospital. The focus of this experiment is to improve the existing neural network so that it can obtain good results in medical image recognition and diagnosis. An improved algorithm was proposed based on the pathological characteristics of Parkinson's disease, and good experimental results were obtained by comparing indicators such as model loss and accuracy.
