  1. Development of a harmonized protocol for hippocampal tracing An EADC-ADNI joint effort 1th Project Management Team Meeting August 31, 2011

  2. Project Management Team Principal Investigators: Giovanni B. Frisoni \ Clifford R. Jack Project Coordination: Marina Boccardi \ Martina Bocchetta Statistical Coordination: Simon Duchesne Industry Advisors: Lennart Thurfjell \ Gunnar Krueger

  3. Preliminary Phase • Survey of literature • Certified extraction of landmarks • (Boccardi et al., J Alzheimers Dis, 2011) • Operationalization of differences • (Segmentation Units, SUs) • Quantification of relevant features of SUs • (reliability, impact on hippo volume, • informative value for AD-related atrophy) • Quantitative data used for Delphi Questionnaires

  4. VARIABILITY EVALUATION GOLD STANDARD VALIDATION vs PATHOLOGY 5 expert tracers 20 naive tracers 1 tracer Training Local Protocol: total for each rater: 40 hippos Local Protocol: total for rater: 30 hippos Benchmark Harmonized hippocampi: total for each rater: 40 hippos Qualification Qualification Delphi panel → harmonized prot Harmonized Protocol: total for each rater: 40 hippos Harmonized Protocol: total for rater: 30 hippos global and local 95% confidence intervals RM-ANOVA: test of protocol main effect RM-ANOVA: test of rater and rater by center terms Harmonized Protocol: total for each rater: 240 hippos RM-ANOVA: test of main effects side, trace-retrace, atrophy, time, scanner, rater The best 5 naive tracers

  5. Gold Standard 5 expert tracers Training Learning SUs tracing criteria (teleconferences, feedback) (tracing 20 hippos on 1.5 ADNI scans with each SU) Benchmark Harmonized hippocampi: 1.5T ADNI scans 2 x each of the 5 Scheltens’s atrophy score x 2 sides (SAME on 3T ADNI scans) (total for each rater: 40 hippos) Variability Evaluation global and local 95% confidence intervals

  13. Variability Evaluation 1/2 20 naive tracers Gold Standard Local Protocol: Experimental set (1.5T ADNI): 2 x each of the 5 Scheltens’s atrophy score x 2 sides (SAME on 3T ADNI scans) (total for each rater: 40 hippos) SELECTION of the BEST 5 naive tracers: 1- High Qualification inter-rater ICC 2- High Harmonized Tracing “1.5Tvs3T intra-rater” ICC 3- Cluster Homogeneity global inter-rater ICC Qualification on Benchmark hippocampi: (total for each rater: 40 hippos) 1 Harmonized Protocol: Experimental set (1.5T ADNI): 2 x each of the 5 Scheltens’s atrophy score x 2 sides (SAME on 3T ADNI scans) (total for each rater: 40 hippos) 2 3 RM-ANOVA: test of rater and rater by center terms

  14. Variability Evaluation 2/2 The best 5 naive tracers Harmonized Protocol: 1.5T ADNI scans 2 sides x 5 Scheltens’s atrophy scores x 3 time points (0-12°month-24°month) x 3 scanners + retracing for timepoint 1 (SAME on 3T ADNI scans) (total for each rater: 240 hippos – including 40 hippos already traced) RM-ANOVA: test of main effects side, trace-retrace, atrophy, time, scanner, rater

  15. Project Steps Completed so far • 2 Delphi rounds • Tracing with local protocol (9/20) • Master tracers practice (4/5) • Pilot platform for tracers qualification

  17. Delphi Panel – Preliminary Results P=0.035 P for agreement among panelists) Covers 100% of hippocampus proper Captures 100% of AD-related atrophy P=0.057 Intra-rater (BS-BS): 0.993 Inter-rater (BS-BS): 0.985 Preliminary ICC (BS-Mayo-LONI): 0.95 P=0.021

  18. Delphi – Preliminary Results • This model includes some tissue which is not hippocampus proper: • A/F is white matter • Tail end may include some vestigial tissue • The medial boundary of the body may include some entorhinal cortex
