Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by a progressive deterioration of cognitive and behavioral functions as a result of the atrophy of specific regions of the brain. It is estimated that by 2050 there will be 131.5 million people affected. Thus, there is an urgent need to find biological markers for its early detection and monitoring. In this work, it is present an analysis of textural radiomics features extracted from a gray matter probability volume, in a set of individual subcortical regions, from a number of different atlases, to identify subject with AD in a MRI. Also, significant subcortical regions for AD detection have been identified using a ReliefF relevance test. Experimental results using the ADNI1 database have proven the potential of some of the tested radiomic features as possible biomarkers for AD/CN differentiation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
