Detailed Description
Cancer-associated depression (CRD) refers to the emotional and pathological response of a patient to loss of personal normality, such as cancer diagnosis, treatment, and complications thereof. In recent years, researches show that almost all cancers have pathogenesis factors such as depression, and the cancer-associated depression is closely related to the occurrence, development and prognosis of tumors, but the occurrence mechanism is still not quite clear at present, and reliable and effective biomarkers are not available to help early diagnosis. In the existing domestic and foreign research, the research on cancer-associated depression groups is less, the research field of multi-modal brain imaging is rarely related, and the application of a machine learning method in medical auxiliary diagnosis is not mature.
The multi-modality Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technology is a flexible combination of various functional MRI technologies based on conventional MRI. Currently, multi-modality MRI used for neurosurgery mainly includes conventional MRI, resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), magnetic resonance imaging (srmri), perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI), and the like, and the multi-modality MRI technology combined with neuronavigation has become one of important auxiliary tools for neurosurgery. The multi-modal brain image is brain image data using two modalities, fMRI and DTI.
Currently, the number of studies using neuroimaging for cancer-associated depression populations is small and mostly dependent on a single modality. In recent years, the development of neuroscience has been greatly promoted by multi-modal neuroimaging research. On one hand, hidden information can be mined to the maximum extent by combining data of different modes, and on the other hand, cross validation can be performed between data of different modes, so that the reliability of results is improved.
The method combines multi-modal magnetic resonance image data, quantifies the characteristics of the cancer associated depression brain images, classifies the cancer associated depression patients and normal control groups by using a machine learning method, excavates the relation between hidden interaction and dependence between brain networks in different modes, and improves the classification accuracy.
The method for identifying cancer associated with depression based on multi-modal magnetic resonance data provided by the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart diagram of an embodiment of a method for identifying cancer associated depression based on multi-modal magnetic resonance data provided herein. As shown in figure 1 of the drawings, in which,
s1, constructing a multilayer network, wherein the multilayer network is formed by stacking at least a functional network constructed by brain image data of a resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging modality and a structural network constructed by brain image data of a diffusion tensor imaging DTI modality;
in one implementation, constructing a multi-layer network includes the steps of: building a functional network, building a structural network, and stacking the functional network and the structural network.
Specific steps for constructing the functional network, constructing the structural network, and stacking the functional network and the structural structure are described below with reference to the drawings.
Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of an embodiment of constructing a multi-layer network in the method for identifying cancer associated with depression based on multi-modal magnetic resonance data provided in the present application. As shown in figure 2 of the drawings, in which,
s101, obtaining a brain image data set M of a resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) mode, wherein the resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) mode corresponds to M brain areas in a one-to-one mode, and samplesi(i is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to m) and a brain image data set N in diffusion tensor imaging DTI modei(1≤i≤m)。
Brain image data of a resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) mode and brain image data of a Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) mode of a sample are collected, the brain image data of the fMRI mode and the brain image data of the DTI mode have the same collection parameters, a set of the brain image data of the fMRI mode is recorded as a set M, and a set of the brain image data of the DTI mode is recorded as a set N.
In one implementation, the brain is segmented into 90 brain regions, i.e., m 90, according to AAL90 (atomic Automatic Labeling template issued by montreal nerve) template. Dividing the M to obtain a subset M of different brain regions corresponding to the Mi(i is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 90); dividing the N to obtain the N corresponding to differentSubset N of brain regionsi(1≤i≤m)。
Fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart of an example of brain image data preprocessing of the fMRI modality provided in the present application. As shown in fig. 3, in an example, before the step of dividing M, the method further includes: pre-processing the M, including removing the first ten time points, temporal layer correction, scalping scalp and skull, head motion correction, spatial normalization, and gaussian smoothing.
Preferably, the DPARSF tool kit based on SPM12 preprocesses the brain image data in M, and during the actual image acquisition, the initial equipment may be in an unstable state, so in order to avoid the error caused by the instability of the machine to the maximum extent, the data of the first 10 time points of each sample are removed. In addition, because the magnetic resonance image scanning adopts a layered scanning method, an interval scanning method is generally adopted, and the specific method is to firstly acquire 1, 3 and 5 … layers and then acquire 2, 4 and 6 … layers. Since the image acquisition time of each layer is different by using the interlayer scanning, the acquisition time of one volume is usually defined as one TR time. The interval between adjacent layers is half of the repetition Time (TR), namely TR/2, and the interval has a large influence on the analysis of data of the RS-fMRI in the Resting State (RS), so we perform slice correction by setting the number of slices, the order of slices, and the reference slices, so that all volumes have the same time point. The process of head motion correction is to use the first image as a reference image, then to perform position matching on other images and the reference image through rigid transformation such as rotation and translation, and then to perform resampling on all images by using an interpolation algorithm. In addition, because of individual differences among the tested objects and the sizes and shapes of human brains, the purpose of spatial standardization is to unify all tested images into the same dimension for subsequent statistical analysis. The method adopts a DARTEL model for space standardization. After the above process is completed, the data in M is preferably smoothed by a gaussian kernel with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 8 mm, which mainly fuses the information of the high frequency signal with the signal of the surrounding area to weaken the image of the high frequency signal. Meanwhile, the activity of the neuron is most remarkably expressed in [ 0.01-0.08 Hz ], so that band-pass filtering is needed to remove physiological noise in data. Finally, 6 brachiocephalic parameters, whole brain, white matter and cerebrospinal fluid mean signals were regressed away. To control the effect of head motion, the average inter-frame head movement distance (mean FD) is calculated. Samples with head motion >2mm displacement or >2 ° rotation or >0.3mm mean FD will be excluded.
Fig. 4 is a schematic flowchart of an example of brain image data preprocessing in the DTI modality provided in the present application. As shown in fig. 4, in an example, before the step of dividing N, the method further includes: the N is preprocessed, including first stripping the scalp, skull, and then performing head motion correction, eddy current correction, spatial normalization, gaussian smoothing, and Fractional Anisotropy (FA) FA calculations. Preferably, the raw DTI data is preprocessed using the PANDA tool kit.
The pretreatment includes first removing structures other than the brain, such as the scalp and skull, and then performing head movement correction and eddy current correction. Eddy current correction can be adjusted to correct for distortion of diffusion weighted images due to different coil gradients and to remove simple head motion artifacts. Finally, the AAL template is applied to the DTI image and the Fractional Anisotropy (FA) is calculated. Preferably, the raw DTI data is preprocessed using the PANDA tool kit.
S102, calculating any two brain image data sets MiThe average time series correlation of (a), the average time series corresponding to the brain region one to one.
Extracting the MiThe average time series of voxels in (b) is in one-to-one correspondence with the brain regions.
Preferably, the correlation between any two brain region time series is calculated using pearson correlation, resulting in a functional network. Since the range of the correlation coefficient of pearson is [ -1, 1], the absolute value of the weight of each side in the network is taken to keep the negative connection, which can provide more information and possibly help to improve the classification performance.
S103, establishing a functional network according to the average time sequence, wherein nodes of the functional network correspond to the brain areas one by one, and edges of the functional network refer to functional connection of the brain areas.
S104, constructing the N according to a deterministic bundle marking methodiAnd the structure network corresponds to the brain areas, the nodes of the structure network correspond to the brain areas one by one, and the edges of the structure network refer to the structure connection of the brain areas.
Preferably, the structural network is constructed by deterministic bundle tagging using the PANDA toolkit.
And S105, constructing a multilayer network according to the functional network and the structural network, wherein the multilayer network is a network for establishing interlayer connection of the same node in the functional network and the structural network.
The network nodes in the functional network and the structural network obtained through the above steps S3 and S4 are brain regions in the AAL90 template, and edges in the functional network and the structural network represent functional connections and structural connections between brain regions, respectively. It will be appreciated that the functional network may be represented as an m adjacency matrix and the structural network may be represented as an m adjacency matrix, so that two m adjacency matrices are obtained for each sample.

the interlayer connections between the same nodes are defined as follows:
Figure BDA0003234204490000052
wherein the content of the first and second substances,

Representing the degree of the node j in the matrix corresponding to the ith mode. Alpha and beta are two adjustable parameters, and interlayer connection with different interlayer dependence degrees can be obtained by setting different alpha and beta. Because the interlayer connection value between different nodes is 0, in the classification process, the interlayer connection matrix H can be directly extracted12Or H21Is characterized by a diagonal line of (a). Thus, the input feature size is N × 90, N being the number of samples.
In a certain implementation manner, because the weight size ranges of the edges in the structural network and the functional network are different from the edge density, a multi-layer network cannot be directly constructed through the definition of the multi-layer network G. Constructing a multilayer network comprises a singular value decomposition step, wherein singular value decomposition is carried out on the structural network and the functional network; effect of (1)And a rate cost optimization step, namely performing efficiency cost optimization on the structural network and the functional network according to the singular value decomposition result. Therefore, the purposes of normalization and sparsification are achieved, the weight value range of the edges in the structural network and the functional network is consistent with the edge density, and a multilayer network is established. Wherein, singular value decomposition is carried out on the matrix A, so that A is UAVTWhere Λ represents the singular value of the matrix A, λ1Represents the largest singular value; the matrix after normalization is defined as

In a certain implementation manner, in the step of extracting a plurality of features of the multilayer network, the plurality of features include node degrees, interlayer connections, and node entropies.
The node degree is defined as:

where k, m are any two nodes in the subgraph, and qk,m≠0。
And S3, respectively training and obtaining a plurality of models respectively corresponding to the plurality of characteristics according to the plurality of characteristics.
The training of the model refers to training different models by using different characteristics (node degrees, interlayer connections and node entropies).
In one implementation, the node degree characteristic is trained to form a node degree model, the interlayer connection characteristic is trained to form an interlayer connection model, and the node entropy characteristic is trained to form a node entropy model.

The result of a tested data is predicted by using different models, some models can predict the result, and some models can predict the result incorrectly. And inputting the data into different models to obtain the prediction results of the models.
And S5, fusing the multiple models according to the prediction result.

The method comprises the steps of constructing a functional network of a brain by using average time sequence correlation of a resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain image data set, constructing a structural network of the brain by using brain image data of two modes of Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), and further constructing a multilayer network, wherein the multilayer network is a network for establishing interlayer connection of the same nodes in the functional network and the structural network. A multi-layer network may expose complex, highly interdependent structures between multiple subsystems in a complex system or within a subsystem. In the study of brain images, such complex relationships not only appear as interactions between brain regions, but also appear as interactions and interdependencies between different modalities (structural networks and functional networks). Therefore, the multi-layer network can more accurately model the brain network. According to the method and the system, the multilayer network is applied to a framework of mental disease identification, hidden interaction and interdependence relation among different modal brain networks are mined, and then classification accuracy is improved.
The mental diseases such as major depressive disorder and the like are not only abnormally changed in the structure and functional network, but also remarkably changed in the form and structure of the subcortical structure including the hippocampus, amygdala and the like.
The present application provides another embodiment of a method for cancer-associated depression identification based on multi-modality magnetic resonance data. The method comprises the steps of extracting the characteristics of the multilayer network, wherein the characteristics of the multilayer network are topological attributes of the multilayer network, the topological attributes comprise interlayer connection, node degree and node entropy, further, collecting morphological characteristics of a subcortical structure in the structure magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI), and training according to the morphological characteristics to obtain a morphological characteristic model corresponding to the morphological characteristics. By fusing the information of the three modalities of MRI, the method and the system have the characteristics of cortex and cortex, and can furthest mine hidden information.
Further, a method of acquiring morphological features of sub-cortical structures in structural magnetic resonance imaging srmri is described.
In one implementation, the morphological feature of the subcortical structure is collected by measuring the subcortical hippocampus, amygdala morphology. Firstly, extracting a sub-cortical structure from original sMRI image data by using an FSL tool, and obtaining a binary image by threshold processing. A marching cubes algorithm is used to generate a triangular surface mesh, and a 'progressive mesh' and mesh refinement are applied to the mesh to eliminate obtuse angles and smoothing noise generated in the process of generating the mesh. All smooth meshes are normalized into a standard space by affine transformation, 9 parameter matrixes (comprising three parameters of translation, rotation and scaling) are calculated by FIRST (a module of FSL), then the inverse consistent surface fluid registration is used, and the problem of surface registration is converted into image configuration by conformal mapping, so that the working difficulty is reduced. Finally, the 'Log-Euclidean metric' is considered according to the idea of the multivariate tensor to analyze the change of the shape instead of the eigenvalue based on the deformation tensor, the calculation of the tensor by the Log-Euclidean metric is easier, and any deviation can not be introduced by using the method. By the treatment of the method, a large number of characteristics of the hippocampus and the almond can be obtained.
For the above features extracted from the multi-layer network and the sub-cortical structure, preferably, the method of F-score is used for dimension reduction and feature selection. In one example, the morphological feature and the topological attribute are input to a Support Vector Machine (SVM), which selects the morphological feature and the topological attribute that meet a threshold as a fused feature.
To avoid the chance of sample grouping, the present application uses nested ten-fold cross-validation. The role of the outer ten-fold cross validation is to divide all samples into training and test sets. The ten-fold cross validation is performed on the training set, the internal ten-fold cross validation has the effect of finding out an optimal set of parameters (such as alpha and beta in the multi-layer network construction and relevant parameters of an SVM classifier) on the training set, and the arrangement ensures that the information of the test set cannot be leaked. And respectively training and classifying different features, and finally performing model fusion by adopting a stacking method. The ten-fold cross validation is repeated for ten times to obtain 100 accuracy rates, the average value of the accuracy rates is calculated to measure the performance of the whole classification model, the obtained classification result is up to more than 90%, and compared with a common method, the accuracy rate is obviously improved.
The embodiment integrates the information of MRI in three modes, gives consideration to the characteristics of cortex and cortex, can furthest mine hidden information, and improves the identification accuracy. A large number of researches prove that different types of mental diseases cause morphological structure changes with remarkable distinguishing characteristics on structures such as hippocampus, amygdala and the like, so that the application is not only limited in the identification of cancer-associated depression, but also can be used for carrying out adaptive characteristic modification on different mental diseases so as to realize the identification of other mental diseases.
The method applies a multi-modal MRI feature fusion method to cancer-associated depression identification. On one hand, a functional network and a structural network are respectively constructed based on fMRI and DTI, and then a multi-layer network is constructed. And extracting multiple topological attributes (such as interlayer connection, node degree, node entropy and the like) of the multilayer network as feature input SVM for classification, and selecting the best-performing features for final model fusion. In recent years, multilayer networks have been gaining attention in many research fields, and have many emerging applications in complex systems such as key infrastructure, transportation, ecosystem, human brain connectors, and the like. The multi-layer network may expose complex, highly interdependent structures between or within multiple subsystems in these complex systems. In the study of brain images, such complex relationships not only appear as interactions between brain regions, but also as interactions and interdependencies between different modalities (structures and functions). Therefore, the multi-layer network can help us model the brain network more accurately. The method firstly proposes a framework for applying a multi-layer network to mental disease identification, and excavates the hidden interaction and interdependence relationship between different modal brain networks, thereby improving the classification accuracy.
On the other hand, because the information of the subcortical structure is ignored by the multilayer network, the method further extracts the morphological characteristics of the subcortical hippocampus and the amygdala as the characteristics for classification. And finally, fusing by adopting a stacking method. The method integrates information of different modalities of MRI and subcortical structures, compared with other methods, more hidden information can be mined, the classification accuracy can reach 90%, and the method is remarkably improved. Meanwhile, as the structure and the function of the brain of the mental disease patient are changed to a certain extent, the method can be popularized to the related research of other mental diseases.
