• Abstract summary: Deep learning (DL) models in brain segmentation are compared with the gold-standard non-DL method. DL significantly reduces the analysis time without compromising the performance of brain segmentation and differential diagnosis. Our findings may contribute to the adoption of DL brain MRI segmentation in clinical settings and advance brain research.

• Abstract: Automated segmentation and volumetry of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are essential for the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) and Parkinson's plus syndromes (P-plus). To enhance the diagnostic performance, we adopt deep learning (DL) models in brain segmentation and compared their performance with the gold-standard non-DL method. We collected brain MRI scans of healthy controls (n=105) and patients with PD (n=105), multiple systemic atrophy (n=132), and progressive supranuclear palsy (n=69) at Samsung Medical Center from January 2017 to December 2020. Using the gold-standard non-DL model, FreeSurfer (FS), we segmented six brain structures: midbrain, pons, caudate, putamen, pallidum, and third ventricle, and considered them as annotating data for DL models, the representative V-Net and UNETR. The Dice scores and area under the curve (AUC) for differentiating normal, PD, and P-plus cases were calculated. The segmentation times of V-Net and UNETR for the six brain structures per patient were 3.48 +- 0.17 and 48.14 +- 0.97 s, respectively, being at least 300 times faster than FS (15,735 +- 1.07 s). Dice scores of both DL models were sufficiently high (>0.85), and their AUCs for disease classification were superior to that of FS. For classification of normal vs. P-plus and PD vs. multiple systemic atrophy (cerebellar type), the DL models and FS showed AUCs above 0.8. DL significantly reduces the analysis time without compromising the performance of brain segmentation and differential diagnosis. Our findings may contribute to the adoption of DL brain MRI segmentation in clinical settings and advance brain research.

Our best performing 3D VAE with input erasing leads to an average DICE score of 31.40% compared to 25.76% for the 2D VAE.
