To explore the application value of quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) based on Laplace algorithm in the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, 48 Parkinson's disease patients admitted to our hospital were included as the research objects. They were randomly divided into control group (24 cases) and experimental group (24 cases). All patients underwent quantitative magnetic susceptibility imaging scan. In the experimental group, the improved Laplace algorithm was used for QSM diagnosis, while in the control group, conventional QSM diagnosis was used. Through calculations of precision, recall, dice similarity coefficient, intersection-over-union (IoU), and area under the curve (AUC), the quality improvement effect of the improved Laplace algorithm for QSM image was assessed. Then, the diagnostic accuracy of the algorithm was verified by comparing with the results of QSM image diagnosis in Parkinson's patients without algorithm processing. The results showed that compared with the traditional Laplace algorithm, the improved Laplace algorithm can considerably reduce the image noise level (P < 0.05). The dice, IoU, precision, and recall rate of image quality evaluation indicator were considerably improved (P < 0.05), and the AUC reached 0.896. There were no significant differences in fraction anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) between the two groups (P > 0.05) and no significant differences in magnetic susceptibility of brain nuclei between the two groups (P > 0.05). However, they all showed high magnetic susceptibility in the substantia nigra region of the brain. Compared with the control group, the diagnostic accuracy of the experimental group was 97.5 +/- 1.23%, which was considerably higher than that of the control group (86.5 +/- 3.56%) (P < 0.05). In short, the image quality of QSM based on Laplace improved algorithm was greatly improved, and the diagnostic accuracy of PD was also greatly improved, which was worthy of promotion in the field of clinical QSM imaging diagnosis of PD.
