Abstrakt: Millions of people around the world suffer from Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder with no remedy. Currently, the best response to interventions is achieved when the disease is diagnosed at an early stage. Supervised machine learning models are a common approach to assist early diagnosis from clinical data, but their performance is highly dependent on available example data and selected input features. In this study, we explore 23 single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) image features for the early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease on 646 subjects. We achieve 94 % balanced classification accuracy in independent test data using the full feature space and show that matching accuracy can be achieved with only eight features, including original features introduced in this study. All the presented features can be generated using a routinely available clinical software and are therefore straightforward to extract and apply.
