Abstract Objective There are two major issues in the MRI image diagnosis task for Parkinson's disease. Firstly, there are slight differences in MRI images between healthy individuals and Parkinson's patients, and the medical field has not yet established precise lesion localization standards, which poses a huge challenge for the effective prediction of Parkinson's disease through MRI images. Secondly, the early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease traditionally relies on the subjective judgment of doctors, which leads to insufficient accuracy and consistency. This article proposes an improved YOLOv5 detection algorithm based on deep learning for predicting and classifying Parkinson's images. Methods This article improves the YOLOv5s network as the basic framework. Firstly, the CA attention mechanism was introduced to enable the model to dynamically adjust attention based on local features of the image, significantly enhancing the sensitivity of the model to PD related small pathological features; Secondly, replace the dynamic full dimensional convolution module to optimize the multi-level extraction of image features; Finally, the coupling head strategy is adopted to improve the execution efficiency of classification and localization tasks separately. Results We validated the effectiveness of the proposed method using a dataset of 582 MRI images from 108 patients. The results show that the proposed method achieves 0.961, 0.974, and 0.986 in Precision, Recall, and mAP, respectively, and the experimental results are superior to other algorithms. Conslusion The improved model has achieved high accuracy and detection accuracy, and can accurately detect and recognize complex Parkinson's MRI images. Significance This algorithm has shown good performance in the early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and can provide clinical assistance for doctors in early diagnosis. It compensates for the limitations of traditional methods.
