Generalised boundary shift integral for longitudinal assessment of spinal cord atrophy

Spinal cord atrophy measurements obtained from structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are associated with disability in many neurological diseases and serve as in vivo biomarkers of neurodegeneration. Longitudinal spinal cord atrophy rate is commonly determined from the numerical difference bet...

Popis
Shrnutí:Spinal cord atrophy measurements obtained from structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are associated with disability in many neurological diseases and serve as in vivo biomarkers of neurodegeneration. Longitudinal spinal cord atrophy rate is commonly determined from the numerical difference between two volumes (based on 3D surface fitting) or two cross-sectional areas (CSA, based on 2D edge detection) obtained at different time-points. Being an indirect measure, atrophy rates are susceptible to variable segmentation errors at the edge of the spinal cord. To overcome those limitations, we developed a new registration-based pipeline that measures atrophy rates directly. We based our approach on the generalised boundary shift integral (GBSI) method, which registers 2 scans and uses a probabilistic XOR mask over the edge of the spinal cord, thereby measuring atrophy more accurately than segmentation-based techniques. Using a large cohort of longitudinal spinal cord images (610 subjects with multiple sclerosis from a multi-centre trial and 52 healthy controls), we demonstrated that GBSI is a sensitive, quantitative and objective measure of longitudinal spinal cord volume change. The GBSI pipeline is repeatable, reproducible, and provides more precise measurements of longitudinal spinal cord atrophy than segmentation-based methods in longitudinal spinal cord atrophy studies. •GBSI is a registration-based pipeline that measures longitudinal spinal cord atrophy.•GBSI is a sensitive and objective measure of longitudinal spinal cord volume change.•A new promising method for computing spinal cord atrophy in clinical trials.
