Combining quantitative susceptibility mapping to radiomics in diagnosing Parkinson ’s disease and assessing cognitive impairment

ConclusionsRadiomics features and MSVs of the nigrostriatal system from QSM could have crucial role in diagnosing PD and assessing CI.Key Points•The MLR and the SVM models have excellent diagnostic performance in the diagnosis of PD.•A PD diagnostic nomogram, created based on MSV and the radiomics scores of SVM model, is very convenient for clinical use.•The radiomics features of the nigrostriatal system based on QSM help to evaluate the cognitive impairment in PD patients.
