Glucose metabolic brain patterns to discriminate amyotrophic lateral sclerosis from Parkinson plus syndromes

ConclusionWe demonstrated that a classification between ALS and PP using expression scores of an ALS and PP metabolic brain pattern leads to a similar and high prediction accuracy as direct classification between ALS and PP. Classification performance and disease-specific metabolic patterns, which could support visual reading and improve insight in brain pathology, were very related for different classifiers.
