MULTforAD: Multimodal MRI Neuroimaging for Alzheimer’s Disease Detection Based on a 3D Convolution Model

Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurological disease that affects numerous people. The condition causes brain atrophy, which leads to memory loss, cognitive impairment, and death. In its early stages, Alzheimer’s disease is tricky to predict. Therefore, treatment provided at an early stage of AD is more effective and causes less damage than treatment at a later stage. Although AD is a common brain condition, it is difficult to recognize, and its classification requires a discriminative feature representation to separate similar brain patterns. Multimodal neuroimage information that combines multiple medical images can classify and diagnose AD more accurately and comprehensively. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used for decades to assist physicians in diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease. Deep models have detected AD with high accuracy in computing-assisted imaging and diagnosis by minimizing the need for hand-crafted feature extraction from MRI images. This study proposes a multimodal image fusion method to fuse MRI neuroimages with a modular set of image preprocessing procedures to automatically fuse and convert Alzheimer’s disease neuroimaging initiative (ADNI) into the BIDS standard for classifying different MRI data of Alzheimer’s subjects from normal controls. Furthermore, a 3D convolutional neural network is used to learn generic features by capturing AlD biomarkers in the fused images, resulting in richer multimodal feature information. Finally, a conventional CNN with three classifiers, including Softmax, SVM, and RF, forecasts and classifies the extracted Alzheimer’s brain multimodal traits from a normal healthy brain. The findings reveal that the proposed method can efficiently predict AD progression by combining high-dimensional MRI characteristics from different public sources with an accuracy range from 88.7% to 99% and outperforming baseline models when applied to MRI-derived voxel features.

Automated Battery Making Fault Classification Using Over-Sampled Image Data CNN Features

“…We compared our model with the state-of-the-art models on the same battery fault detection dataset. Support vector machine with the RBF kernel [ 56 ], the extra tree classifier [ 57 ] with 300 total estimators, random state 5, maximum of depth 300, and random forest [ 58 ] all yielded unsatisfactory results. Comparisons with our model were made using the accuracy, precision, recall, and the F1 score.…”

Application of Convolutional Neural Networks for Early Detection and Classification of Alzheimer's disease from MRI Images

“…The dataset was haphazardly part into preparing (70%), approval (15%), and test (15%) sets. We preprocessed the MRI pictures to standardize determination, escalated normalization, and evacuation of non-brain tissue [12]. We executed and prepared four distinctive calculations for comparison: Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and Gradient Boosting Machine (GBM) [13].…”

BrainNet: A Unified Neural Network Architecture for Brain Image Classification

“…Arabahmadi et al (2022) conducts a comprehensive review of existing deep learning methods applied to MRI data to classify multiple diseases. Ismail et al (2022) propose a multimodal image fusion technique to combine MRI neuro-images with modular sets of images. They employ a CNN with three classifiers-softmax, SVM, and random forest-to forecast and classify Alzheimer's brain multimodal progression and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) disease through high-dimensional magnetic resonance characteristics.…”
