Özet

The increasing prevalence of neurodegenerative diseases has recently heightened interest in research on early diagnosis of these diseases. Parkinson's disease (PD), among the most prominent of these conditions, is a neurological disorder causing the loss of nerve cells and significantly affecting movement control. Detection of PD in early stages is of critical importance to prevent the progression of the disease and improve treatment processes. The aim of the current study is to develop a deep learning model that can perform accurate classification for early diagnosis of PD from MRI images. In this study, a densely connected feature fusion network with residual learning is designed to diagnose PD patients. The designed network consists of a serial dense block with skip connections and efficient attention mechanisms. In this architecture, squeeze-excitation (SE) blocks with ResNeXt (SE-ResNeXt block) modules are utilized to extract distinctive and high-level features. In the experiments, a publicly available T2-weighted MRI dataset is used, and an offline augmentation process is applied to limited data to increase the generalization ability and classification performance. The proposed method is evaluated and compared with current state-of-the-art deep learning methods. The obtained results show that the proposed model gives higher classification performance with an overall accuracy of 94.44%, precision of 91.67%, sensitivity of 91.67%, specificity of 95.83%, F1-score of 91.67%, and Matthew's correlation coefficient of 87.50% for the PD and healthy control subjects.
