For differential diagnosis between PD and atypical parkinsonisms, we designed a stratified automated method based on SVM and multi-modality MRI, including T1WI, QSM and DTI. 163 patients (96 PD, 27 MSA, 40 PSP) and 65 healthy controls were recruited. Features including volume, cortical thickness, magnetic susceptibility, FA and MD of 124 ROIs were calculated for SVM classification. The result showed that SVM classification based on susceptibility enabled accurate differentiation of patients with parkinsonian disorders and controls, and classification of PD, MSA and PSP was allowed by using T1 and DTI.
