doi:10.3969/j.issn.1673-5765.2020.12.005

Abstract

Abstract:

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is the main cause of cognitive impairment. Some neuroimaging studies have found many changes in brain structure and function related to cognitive impairment due to CSVD at group level. However, it is hard to make individual evaluation for cognitive impairment and prognosis prediction according to these neuroimaging changes. In recent years, machine learning has been gradually applied to cerebrovascular disease field, and machine learning-based neuroimaging data analysis can be used to predict disease progression and find potential imaging biomarkers.

Key words: Cerebral small vessel disease; Cognitive impairment; Neuroimaging; Machine learning

摘要：

脑小血管病（cerebral small vessel disease，CSVD）是认知障碍的主要原因。神经影像研究已在组水平层面发现许多与CSVD认知障碍相关的大脑结构与功能的改变，然而难以实现个体化评价和预测。近年来，机器学习逐渐应用于脑疾病中，如利用神经影像数据对疾病进展进行个体化预测，发掘潜在的生物学标志物等方面。
