Early detection and intervention in MCI can potentially slow disease advancement, offering substantial clinical benefits. This study employed radiomics and machine learning methodologies to distinguish between MCI and Normal Cognition (NC) groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study included 172 MCI patients and 183 healthy controls from the Alzheimer\u2019s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database, all of whom had 3D-T1 weighted MRI structural images. The cerebellar gray and white matter were segmented automatically using volBrain software, and radiomic features were extracted and screened through Pyradiomics. The screened features were then input into various machine learning models, including Random Forest (RF), Logistic Regression (LR), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Support Vector Machines (SVM), K Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Extra Trees, Light Gradient Boosting Machine (LightGBM), and Multilayer Perceptron (MLP). Each model was optimized for penalty parameters through 5-fold cross-validation to construct radiomic models. The DeLong test was used to evaluate the performance of different models.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The LightGBM model, which utilizes a combination of cerebellar gray and white matter features (comprising eight gray matter and eight white matter features), emerges as the most effective model for radiomics feature analysis.
