Volumetric neuroimaging examinations like structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (sMRI) are routinely applied to support the clinical diagnosis of dementia like Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Neuroradiologists examine 3D sMRI to detect and…
The current state-of-the-art deep neural networks (DNNs) for Alzheimer's Disease diagnosis use different biomarker combinations to classify patients, but do not allow extracting knowledge about the interactions of biomarkers. However, to…
Neurodegeneration as measured through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is recognized as a potential biomarker for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD), but is generally considered less specific than amyloid or tau based biomarkers. Due to a…
An increasingly important goal of psychiatry is the use of brain imaging data to develop predictive models. Here we present two contributions to statistical methodology for this purpose. First, we propose and compare a set of wavelet-domain…
Alzheimer's is a brain disease that gets worse over time and affects memory, thinking, and behavior. Alzheimer's disease (AD) can be treated and managed if it is diagnosed early, which can slow the progression of symptoms and improve…
Early diagnosis, playing an important role in preventing progress and treating the Alzheimer's disease (AD), is based on classification of features extracted from brain images. The features have to accurately capture main AD-related…
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurological disorder characterized by cognitive impairment and memory loss. With the increasing aging population, the incidence of AD is continuously rising, making early diagnosis and intervention an…
