Multimodal imaging measures in the prediction of clinical response to deep brain stimulation for refractory depression: A machine learning approach
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objectives This study compared machine learning models using unimodal imaging measures and combined multi-modal imaging measures for deep brain stimulation (DBS) outcome prediction in treatment resistant depression (TRD).Methods Regional brain glucose metabolism (CMRGlu), cerebral blood flow (CBF), and grey matter volume (GMV) were measured at baseline using 18F-fluorodeoxy glucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET), arterial spin labelling (ASL) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and T1-weighted MRI, respectively, in 19 patients with TRD receiving subcallosal cingulate (SCC)-DBS. Responders (n = 9) were defined by a 50% reduction in HAMD-17 at 6 months from the baseline. Using an atlas-based approach, values of each measure were determined for pre-selected brain regions. OneR feature selection algorithm and the naïve Bayes model was used for classification. Leave-out-one cross validation was used for classifier evaluation.Results The performance accuracy of the CMRGlu classification model (84%) was greater than CBF (74%) or GMV (74%) models. The classification model using the three image modalities together led to a similar accuracy (84%0 compared to the CMRGlu classification model.Conclusions CMRGlu imaging measures may be useful for the development of multivariate prediction models for SCC-DBS studies for TRD. The future of multivariate methods for multimodal imaging may rest on the selection of complementing features and the developing better models.Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov (#NCT 01983904)

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
