METHODS: This study introduces a deep learning residual network model, augmented with attention mechanisms and multi-scale feature extraction, termed AMSNet, to assist in accurate diagnosis. Initially, a multi-scale feature extraction module is implemented to robustly handle the irregular morphological features and significant area information present in TCS images. This module effectively mitigates the effects of artifacts and noise. When combined with a convolutional attention module, it enhances the model\'s ability to learn features of lesion areas. Subsequently, a residual network architecture, integrated with channel attention, is utilized to capture hierarchical and detailed textures within the images, further enhancing the model\'s feature representation capabilities.
RESULTS: The study compiled TCS images and personal data from 1109 participants. Experiments conducted on this dataset demonstrated that AMSNet achieved remarkable classification accuracy (92.79%), precision (95.42%), and specificity (93.1%). It surpassed the performance of previously employed machine learning algorithms in this domain, as well as current general-purpose deep learning models.
CONCLUSIONS: The AMSNet proposed in this study deviates from traditional machine learning approaches that necessitate intricate feature engineering. It is capable of automatically extracting and learning deep pathological features, and has the capacity to comprehend and articulate complex data. This underscores the substantial potential of deep learning methods in the application of TCS images for the diagnosis of movement disorders.
