Arrhythmogenic left ventricular cardiomyopathy is a genetic myocardial disease difficult to diagnose due to the lack of gold standard criteria. Simultaneous PET/MR imaging, combined with multiparametric quantitative analysis, could facilitate the identification of different profiles related to the phenotype and progression of cardiomyopathy. This preliminary study focuses on a methodological strategy for dealing with PET/MRI data, including inter-patient data linkage and regional analysis. Two-step clustering was applied to T1 and T2 maps, LGE, and 18F-FDG-PET images of 99 patients genetically diagnosed with arrhythmogenic left ventricular cardiomyopathy. Each patient's images were independently z-scored and summed into a single volume, which was clustered into supervoxels. Thirty-two inter-patient groups of supervoxels were obtained by spectral clustering. An "abnormality" score was assigned to each cluster and modality, and used to visualise abnormal regions likely associated with disease. They enabled the generation of automated textual and bullseye health reports for each patient, which were compared with cardiac imager assessments using balanced accuracy in repeated nested cross-validation. This approach was further validated on a larger cohort of 167 numerical phantoms. The reports generated by clustering accurately identified most of the cardiac physicians' observations (BA = 0.76 $\pm$ 0.04 in repeated nested cross-validation on patients, and BA $\ge$ 0.8 on phantoms). Furthermore, the identified abnormal clusters closely matched their visual observations, facilitating the identification of varying degrees of fibrosis or inflammation on the images. This approach enables a more systematic handling of multimodal PET/MRI data to characterise myocardial heterogeneity in arrhythmogenic left ventricular cardiomyopathy patients.
