Abstract
En 中文
Arterial spin labeling (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging has been widely applied to identify cerebral blood flow (CBF) abnormalities in a number of brain disorders. To evaluate its significance in detecting methamphetamine (MA) dependence, this study used a multivariate pattern classification algorithm, ie, a support vector machine (SVM), to construct classifiers for discriminating MA-dependent subjects from normal controls. Forty-five MA-dependent subjects, 45 normal controls, and 36 heroin-dependent subjects were enrolled. Classifiers trained with ASL-CBF data from the left or right cerebrum showed significant hemispheric asymmetry in their cross-validated prediction performance (P < 0.001 for accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, kappa, and area under the curve [AUC] of the receiver operating characteristics [ROC] curve). A classifier trained with ASL-CBF data from all cerebral regions (bilateral hemispheres and corpus callosum) was able to differentiate MA-dependent subjects from normal controls with a cross-validated prediction accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, kappa, and AUC of 89%, 94%, 84%, 0.78, and 0.95, respectively. The discrimination map extracted from this classifier covered multiple brain circuits that either constitute a network related to drug abuse and addiction or could be impaired in MA-dependence. The cerebral regions contribute most to classification include occipital lobe, insular cortex, postcentral gyrus, corpus callosum, and inferior frontal cortex. This classifier was also specific to MA-dependence rather than substance use disorders in general (ie, 55.56% accuracy for heroin dependence). These results support the future utilization of ASL with an SVM-based classifier for the diagnosis of MA-dependence and could help improve the understanding of MA-related neuropathology.
