Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine the diagnostic performance of neuromelanin-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging discriminating between patients with Parkinson's disease and normal healthy controls and to identify factors causing heterogeneity influencing the diagnostic performance. METHODS: A systematic literature search in the Ovid-MEDLINE and EMBASE databases was performed for studies reporting the relevant topic before February 17, 2020. The pooled sensitivity and specificity values with their 95% confidence intervals were calculated using bivariate random-effects modeling. Subgroup and meta-regression analyses were also performed to determine factors influencing heterogeneity. RESULTS: Twelve articles including 403 patients with Parkinson's disease and 298 control participants were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. Neuromelanin-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging showed a pooled sensitivity of 89% (95% confidence interval, 86-92%) and a pooled specificity of 83% (95% confidence interval, 76-88%). In the subgroup and meta-regression analysis, a disease duration longer than 5 and 10 years, comparisons using measured volumes instead of signal intensities, a slice thickness in terms of magnetic resonance imaging parameters of more than 2 mm, and semi-/automated segmentation methods instead of manual segmentation improved the diagnostic performance. CONCLUSION: Neuromelanin-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging had a favorable diagnostic performance in discriminating patients with Parkinson's disease from healthy controls. To improve diagnostic accuracy, further investigations directly comparing these heterogeneity-affecting factors and optimizing these parameters are necessary. KEY POINTS: • Neuromelanin-sensitive MRI favorably discriminates patients with Parkinson's disease from healthy controls. • Disease duration, parameters used for comparison, magnetic resonance imaging slice thickness, and segmentation methods affected heterogeneity across the studies.
