Diagnosing Parkinson’s disease (PD) is still a clinical challenge. Deep grey matter is involved in the pathophysiological changes of PD. We built a radiomics model to distinguish PD from normal controls (NC) based on five brain nuclei in multiple quantitative images derived from STrategically Acquired Gradient Echo (STAGE) imaging. This model combined features from the caudate nucleus, globus pallidus, putamen, red nucleus, and substantia nigra regions in QSM, T1and proton density maps and achieved a test AUC of 0.948. Features from the SN region as seen in the QSM images were found to be the most important ones for classification.
