- Texture Analysis of T1-weighted Turbo Spin-Echo MRI for the Diagnosis and Follow-up of Collagen VI-related MyopathyPublication . Rodrigues, Rafael; Gómez-García de La Banda, Marta; Tordjman, Mickael; Gómez-Andrés, David; Quijano-Roy, Susana; Carlier, Robert-Yves; Pinheiro, Antonio M. G.Muscle texture analysis in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has revealed a good correlation with typical histological changes resulting from neuromuscular disorders. In this research, we assess the effectiveness of several features in describing intramuscular texture alterations in cases of Collagen VI-related myopathy. A T1-weighted Turbo Spin-Echo MRI dataset was used (Nsubj = 26), consisting of thigh scans from subjects diagnosed with Ullrich Congenital Muscular Dystrophy or Bethlem Myopathy, with different severity levels, as well as healthy subjects. A total of 355 texture features were studied, including attributes derived from the Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix, the Run-Length Matrix, Wavelet and Gabor filters. The extracted features were ranked using the Support Vector Machine Recursive Feature Elimination (SVM-RFE) algorithm with Correlation Bias Reduction, prior to cross-validated classification with a Gaussian kernel SVM.
