Abstract

Purpose To assess whether diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and generalized q-sampling imaging (GQI) metrics could preoperatively predict the clinical outcome of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods In this single-center retrospective study, from September 2021 to March 2023, preoperative DTI and GQI examinations of 44 patients who underwent DBS surgery, were analyzed. To evaluate motor functions, the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) during on- and off-medication and Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39) scales were used before and three months after DBS surgery. The study population was divided into two groups according to the improvement rate of scales: >= 50% and < 50%. Five target regions, reported to be affected in PD, were investigated. The parameters having statistically significant difference were subjected to a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Results Quantitative anisotropy (qa) values from globus pallidus externus, globus pallidus internus (qa_Gpi), and substantia nigra exhibited significant distributional difference between groups in terms of the improvement rate of UPDRS-3 scale during on-medication (p = 0.003, p = 0.0003, and p = 0.0008, respectively). In ROC analysis, the best parameter in predicting DBS response included qa_Gpi with a cut-off value of 0.01370 achieved an area under the ROC curve, accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of 0.810, 73%, 62.5%, and 85%, respectively. Optimal cut-off values of >= 0.01864 and <= 0.01162 yielded a sensitivity and specificity of 100%, respectively. Conclusion The imaging parameters acquired from GQI, particularly qa_Gpi, may have the ability to non-invasively predict the clinical outcome of DBS surgery.
