Fig. 2From: A machine learning-based classification approach on Parkinson’s disease diffusion tensor imaging datasetsWeight maps of FA bSVM (shown on axial midbrain slices). The pattern indicates random weighting of FA values for the purpose of classification (comparable to the other investigated diffusion metrics and the MKL, data not shown here). Former studies demonstrated altered diffusion metrics in the occipital portions of the SN [13]. However, interpretability is limited e.g. due to the small ROI sizeBack to article page
