Abstract
Alzheimer's disease is an incurable neurological disorder that damages cognitive abilities, but early identification reduces the symptoms significantly. The absence of competent healthcare professionals has made automatic identification of Alzheimer's disease more crucial since it lessens the amount of work for staff members and improves diagnostic outcomes. The major aim of this work is "to develop a computer diagnostic scheme that makes it possible to identify AD using the Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal". Therefore, Dynamically Stabilized Recurrent Neural Network Optimized with Artificial Gorilla Troops espoused Alzheimer's Disorder Detection using EEG signals (DSRNN-AGTO-ADD) is proposed in this paper. Here, Dynamic Context-Sensitive Filter (DCSF) is considered to eliminate the noise, and interference from the EEG signal. Then Adaptive and Concise Empirical Wavelet Transform (ACEWT) is utilized to separate the filtered signals from the frequency bands, and to feature extraction from the EEG signals. Signal's characteristics, like logarithmic bandwidth power, standard deviation, variance, kurtosis, mean energy, mean square, norm are combined to ACEWT method to create feature vectors and enhance diagnostic performance. After that, the extracted features are fed to Dynamically Stabilized Recurrent Neural Network (DSRNN) for task classification. Weight parameter of DSRNN is enhanced using Artificial Gorilla Troops Optimization Algorithm (AGTOA). The proposed DSRNN-AGTOA-ADD algorithm is activated in MATLAB. The metrics including accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, precision, computation time, ROC are examined for AD diagnosis. The performance of the proposed DSRNN-AGTOA-ADD approach attains 12.98%, 5.98% and 23.45% high specificity; 29.98%, 23.32% and 19.76% lower computation Time and 29.29%, 8.365%, 8.551% and 7.915% higher ROC compared with the existing methods.

Abstract
Introduction: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a degenerative brain disorder characterized by cognitive and memory dysfunctions. The early detection of AD is necessary to reduce the mortality rate through slowing down its progression. The prevention and detection of AD is the emerging research topic for many researchers. The structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (sMRI) is an extensively used imaging technique in detection of AD, because it efficiently reflects the brain variations. Methods: Machine learning and deep learning models are widely applied on sMRI images for AD detection to accelerate the diagnosis process and to assist clinicians for timely treatment. In this article, an effective automated framework is implemented for early detection of AD. At first, the Region of Interest (RoI) is segmented from the acquired sMRI images by employing Otsu thresholding method with Tunicate Swarm Algorithm (TSA). The TSA finds the optimal segmentation threshold value for Otsu thresholding method. Then, the vectors are extracted from the RoI by applying Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and Local Directional Pattern variance (LDPv) descriptors. At last, the extracted vectors are passed to Deep Belief Networks (DBN) for image classification. Results and Discussion: The proposed framework achieves supreme classification accuracy of 99.80% and 99.92% on the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) and Australian Imaging, Biomarker and Lifestyle flagship work of ageing (AIBL) datasets, which is higher than the conventional detection models.

Abstract
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) poses a significant health risk globally, particularly among the elderly population. Recent studies underscore its prevalence, with over 50% of elderly Japanese facing a lifetime risk of dementia, primarily attributed to AD. As the most prevalent form of dementia, AD gradually erodes brain cells, leading to severe neurological decline. In this scenario, it is important to develop an automatic AD-detection system, and many researchers have been working to develop an AD-detection system by taking advantage of the advancement of deep learning (DL) techniques, which have shown promising results in various domains, including medical image analysis. However, existing approaches for AD detection often suffer from limited performance due to the complexities associated with training hierarchical convolutional neural networks (CNNs). In this paper, we introduce a novel multi-stage deep neural network architecture based on residual functions to address the limitations of existing AD-detection approaches. Inspired by the success of residual networks (ResNets) in image-classification tasks, our proposed system comprises five stages, each explicitly formulated to enhance feature effectiveness while maintaining model depth. Following feature extraction, a deep learning-based feature-selection module is applied to mitigate overfitting, incorporating batch normalization, dropout and fully connected layers. Subsequently, machine learning (ML)-based classification algorithms, including Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest (RF) and SoftMax, are employed for classification tasks. Comprehensive evaluations conducted on three benchmark datasets, namely ADNI1: Complete 1Yr 1.5T, MIRAID and OASIS Kaggle, demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed model. Impressively, our model achieves accuracy rates of 99.47%, 99.10% and 99.70% for ADNI1: Complete 1Yr 1.5T, MIRAID and OASIS datasets, respectively, outperforming existing systems in binary class problems. Our proposed model represents a significant advancement in the AD-analysis domain.

Abstract
This study aims to develop an optimally performing convolutional neural network to classify Alzheimer's disease into mild cognitive impairment, normal controls, or Alzheimer's disease classes using a magnetic resonance imaging dataset. To achieve this, we focused the study on addressing the challenge of image noise, which impacts the performance of deep learning models. The study introduced a scheme for enhancing images to improve the quality of the datasets. Specifically, an image enhancement algorithm based on histogram equalization and bilateral filtering techniques was deployed to reduce noise and enhance the quality of the images. Subsequently, a convolutional neural network model comprising four convolutional layers and two hidden layers was devised for classifying Alzheimer's disease into three (3) distinct categories, namely mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease, and normal controls. The model was trained and evaluated using a 10-fold cross-validation sampling approach with a learning rate of 0.001 and 200 training epochs at each instance. The proposed model yielded notable results, such as an accuracy of 93.45% and an area under the curve value of 0.99 when trained on the three classes. The model further showed superior results on binary classification compared with existing methods. The model recorded 94.39%, 94.92%, and 95.62% accuracies for Alzheimer's disease versus normal controls, Alzheimer's disease versus mild cognitive impairment, and mild cognitive impairment versus normal controls classes, respectively.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) poses a substantial public health challenge, demanding accurate screening and diagnosis. Identifying AD in its early stages, including mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and healthy control (HC), is crucial given the global aging population. Structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) is essential for understanding the brain's structural changes due to atrophy. While current deep learning networks overlook voxel long-term dependencies, vision transformers (ViT) excel at recognizing such dependencies in images, making them valuable in AD diagnosis. Our proposed method integrates convolution-attention mechanisms in transformer-based classifiers for AD brain datasets, enhancing performance without excessive computing resources. Replacing multi-head attention with lightweight multi-head self-attention (LMHSA), employing inverted residual (IRU) blocks, and introducing local feed-forward networks (LFFN) yields exceptional results. Training on AD datasets with a gradient-centralized optimizer and Adam achieves an impressive accuracy rate of 94.31% for multi-class classification, rising to 95.37% for binary classification (AD vs. HC) and 92.15% for HC vs. MCI. These outcomes surpass existing AD diagnosis approaches, showcasing the model's efficacy. Identifying key brain regions aids future clinical solutions for AD and neurodegenerative diseases. However, this study focused exclusively on the AD Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) cohort, emphasizing the need for a more robust, generalizable approach incorporating diverse databases beyond ADNI in future research.

Abstract
Over the past decade, the use of biometrics in security systems and other applications has grown in popularity. ECG signals in particular are attracting increased attention due to their characteristics, which are required for a trustworthy identification system. The majority of ECG-based person identification systems are evaluated without considering the health-state of the individuals. Few person identification systems consider person-by-person health-state annotation. This paper proposes a person identification system considering the health-state annotated ECG signals where each person's beats overlap among variant arrhythmia classes. This overlapping between the normal class and other arrhythmia classes grants the ability to isolate normal beats in the train set from the Arrhythmic beats in the test set. Therefore, this paper investigates the effect of arrhythmic heartbeats on biometric recognition. An effective lightweight CNN based on depth-wise separable convolution (DWSC) is proposed to enhance the performance of person identification for several common arrhythmia types using the MITBIH dataset. The proposed methodology has been tested on nine arrhythmia types and presents how different types of arrhythmia affect ECG-based biometric systems differently. The experimental results show excellent recognition performance (99.28%) on normal heartbeats and (93.81%) on arrhythmic heartbeats, outperforming other models in terms of mean accuracy.

Abstract
The challenge of making flexible, standard, and early medical diagnoses is significant. However, some limitations are not fully overcome. First, the diagnosis rules established by medical experts or learned from a trained dataset prove static and too general. It leads to decisions that lack adaptive flexibility when finding new circumstances. Secondly, medical terminological interoperability is highly critical. It increases realism and medical progress and avoids isolated systems and the difficulty of data exchange, analysis, and interpretation. Third, criteria for diagnosis are often heterogeneous and changeable. It includes symptoms, patient history, demographic, treatment, genetics, biochemistry, and imaging. Symptoms represent a high-impact indicator for early detection. It is important that we deal with these symptoms differently, which have a great relationship with semantics, vary widely, and have linguistic information. This negatively affects early diagnosis decision-making. Depending on the circumstances, the diagnosis is made solo on imaging and some medical tests. In this case, although the accuracy of the diagnosis is very high, can these decisions be considered an early diagnosis or prove the condition is deteriorating? Our contribution in this paper is to present a real medical diagnostic system based on semantics, fuzzy, and dynamic decision rules. We attempt to integrate ontology semantics reasoning and fuzzy inference. It promotes fuzzy reasoning and handles knowledge representation problems. In complications and symptoms, ontological semantic reasoning improves the process of evaluating rules in terms of interpretability, dynamism, and intelligence. A real-world case study, ADNI, is presented involving the field of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The proposed system has indicated the possibility of the system to diagnose AD with an accuracy of 97.2%, 95.4%, 94.8%, 93.1%, and 96.3% for AD, LMCI, EMCI, SMC, and CN respectively.

Abstract
For decades, a variety of predictive approaches have been proposed and evaluated in terms of their prediction capability for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and its precursor - mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Most of them focused on prediction or identification of statistical differences among different clinical groups or phases, especially in the context of binary or multi-class classification. The continuous nature of AD development and transition states between successive AD related stages have been typically overlooked. Though a few progression models of AD have been studied recently, they were mainly designed to determine and compare the order of specific biomarkers. How to effectively predict the individual patient's status within a wide spectrum of continuous AD progression has been largely understudied. In this work, we developed a novel learning-based embedding framework to encode the intrinsic relations among AD related clinical stages by a set of meaningful embedding vectors in the latent space (Disease2Vec). We named this process as disease embedding. By Disease2Vec, our framework generates a disease embedding tree (DETree) which effectively represents different clinical stages as a tree trajectory reflecting AD progression and thus can be used to predict clinical status by projecting individuals onto this continuous trajectory. Through this model, DETree can not only perform efficient and accurate prediction for patients at any stages of AD development (across five fine-grained clinical groups instead of typical two groups), but also provide richer status information by examining the projecting locations within a wide and continuous AD progression process. (Code will be available: https://github.com/qidianzl/Disease2Vec.).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Multimodal medical fusion images have been widely used in clinical medicine, computer-aided diagnosis and other fields. However, the existing multimodal medical image fusion algorithms generally have shortcomings such as complex calculations, blurred details and poor adaptability. To solve this problem, we propose a cascaded dense residual network and use it for grayscale and pseudocolor medical image fusion. METHODS The cascaded dense residual network uses a multiscale dense network and a residual network as the basic network architecture, and a multilevel converged network is obtained through cascade. The cascaded dense residual network contains 3 networks, the first-level network inputs two images with different modalities to obtain a fused Image 1, the second-level network uses fused Image 1 as the input image to obtain fused Image 2 and the third-level network uses fused Image 2 as the input image to obtain fused Image 3. The multimodal medical image is trained through each level of the network, and the output fusion image is enhanced step-by-step. RESULTS As the number of networks increases, the fusion image becomes increasingly clearer. Through numerous fusion experiments, the fused images of the proposed algorithm have higher edge strength, richer details, and better performance in the objective indicators than the reference algorithms. CONCLUSION Compared with the reference algorithms, the proposed algorithm has better original information, higher edge strength, richer details and an improvement of the four objective SF, AG, MZ and EN indicator metrics.

Abstract
Deep learning algorithms have a huge influence on tackling research issues in the field of medical image processing. It acts as a vital aid for the radiologists in producing accurate results toward effective disease diagnosis. The objective of this research is to highlight the importance of deep learning models in the detection of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The main objective of this research is to analyze different deep learning methods used for detecting AD. This study examines 103 research articles published in various research databases. These articles have been selected based on specific criteria to find the most relevant findings in the field of AD detection. The review was carried out based on deep learning techniques such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), and Transfer Learning (TL). To propose accurate methods for the detection, segmentation, and severity grading of AD, the radiological features need to be examined in greater depth. This review attempts to analyze different deep learning methods applied for AD detection using neuroimaging modalities like Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), etc. The focus of this review is restricted to deep learning works based on radiological imaging data for AD detection. There are a few works that have utilized other biomarkers to understand the effect of AD. Also, articles published in English were alone considered for analysis. This work concludes by highlighting the key research issues towards effective AD detection. Though several methods have yielded promising results in AD detection, the progression from Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) to AD need to be analyzed in greater depth using DL models.

Abstract
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been increasingly used in the computer-aided diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). This study takes the advantage of the 2D-slice CNN fast computation and ensemble approaches to develop a Monte Carlo Ensemble Neural Network (MCENN) by introducing Monte Carlo sampling and an ensemble neural network in the integration with ResNet50. Our goals are to improve the 2D-slice CNN performance and to design the MCENN model insensitive to image resolution. Unlike traditional ensemble approaches with multiple base learners, our MCENN model incorporates one neural network learner and generates a large number of possible classification decisions via Monte Carlo sampling of feature importance within the combined slices. This can overcome the main weakness of the lack of 3D brain anatomical information in 2D-slice CNNs and develop a neural network to learn the 3D relevance of the features across multiple slices. Brain images from Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI, 7199 scans), the Open Access Series of Imaging Studies-3 (OASIS-3, 1992 scans), and a clinical sample (239 scans) are used to evaluate the performance of the MCENN model for the classification of cognitively normal (CN), patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD. Our MCENN with a small number of slices and minimal image processing (rigid transformation, intensity normalization, skull stripping) achieves the AD classification accuracy of 90%, better than existing 2D-slice CNNs (accuracy: 63%∼84%) and 3D CNNs (accuracy: 74%∼88%). Furthermore, the MCENN is robust to be trained in the ADNI dataset and applied to the OASIS-3 dataset and the clinical sample. Our experiments show that the AD classification accuracy of the MCENN model is comparable when using high- and low-resolution brain images, suggesting the insensitivity of the MCENN to image resolution. Hence, the MCENN does not require high-resolution 3D brain structural images and comprehensive image processing, which supports its potential use in a clinical setting.

Classification of Alzheimer’s Disease Using Dual-Phase 18F-Florbetaben Image with Rank-Based Feature Selection and Machine Learning. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2022.

Abstract
18F-florbetaben (FBB) positron emission tomography is a representative imaging test that observes amyloid deposition in the brain. Compared to delay-phase FBB (dFBB), early-phase FBB shows patterns related to glucose metabolism in 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose perfusion images. The purpose of this study is to prove that classification accuracy is higher when using dual-phase FBB (dual FBB) versus dFBB quantitative analysis by using machine learning and to find an optimal machine learning model suitable for dual FBB quantitative analysis data. The key features of our method are (1) a feature ranking method for each phase of FBB with a cross-validated F1 score and (2) a quantitative diagnostic model based on machine learning methods. We compared four classification models: support vector machine, naïve Bayes, logistic regression, and random forest (RF). In composite standardized uptake value ratio, RF achieved the best performance (F1: 78.06%) with dual FBB, which was 4.83% higher than the result with dFBB. In conclusion, regardless of the two quantitative analysis methods, using the dual FBB has a higher classification accuracy than using the dFBB. The RF model is the machine learning model that best classifies a dual FBB. The regions that have the greatest influence on the classification of dual FBB are the frontal and temporal lobes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE It is known that the disintegration of microtubules in neurons occurs in response to the phosphorylation of the tau proteins that promotes the structural instability of the microtubules, as one of the factors underlying the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD). METHODS In this study, the mechanical variations undergone by the tau protein's and microtubule's structures due to the action of intrinsic magnetite nanoparticles inside the brain tissue have been computationally modeled using the finite element (FEM) method. RESULTS The von Mises stress induced by magnetite nanoparticles, subject to an applied alternating magnetic field, leads to local heating and mechanical forces, prompting a corresponding deformation in, and displacement of, the microtubule and the tau protein. CONCLUSIONS The induction of these deformations would increase the probability of the microtubules' depolymerization, and hence their eventual structural disintegration.

Abstract
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a health apprehension of significant proportions that is negatively impacting the ageing population globally. It is characterized by neuronal loss and the formation of structures such as neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques in the early as well as later stages of the disease. Neuroimaging modalities are routinely used in clinical practice to capture brain alterations associated with AD. On the other hand, deep learning methods are routinely used to recognize patterns in underlying data distributions effectively. This work uses Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures in both 2D and 3D domains to classify the initial stages of AD into AD, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Normal Control (NC) classes using the positron emission tomography neuroimaging modality deploying data augmentation in a random zoomed in/out scheme. We used novel concepts such as the blurring before subsampling principle and distant domain transfer learning to build 2D CNN architectures. We performed three binaries, that is, AD/NC, AD/MCI, MCI/NC and one multiclass classification task AD/NC/MCI. The statistical comparison revealed that 3D-CNN architecture performed the best achieving an accuracy of 89.21% on AD/NC, 71.70% on AD/MCI, 62.25% on NC/MCI and 59.73% on AD/NC/MCI classification tasks using a five-fold cross-validation hyperparameter selection approach. Data augmentation helps in achieving superior performance on the multiclass classification task. The obtained results support the application of deep learning models towards early recognition of AD.

Abstract
In today’s world, Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is one of the prevalent neurological diseases where early disease prediction can significantly enhance the compatibility of patient treatment. Nevertheless, accurate diagnosis and optimal feature selection play a vital challenge in AD detection. Most of the existing diagnosis systems failed to attain superior prediction accuracy and precision rate. In order to mitigate these constraints, a new efficient Convolutional Neural Network-based Stacked Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-SLSTM) methodology has been proposed in this paper. The key objective of the proposed model is to examine the brain’s condition and evaluate the changes that occur throughout the interracial period. The proposed model includes multi-feature learning and categorization in which the raw Electroencephalography (EEG) data will be passed via the feature extractor to decrease the computing complexity and execution time. Afterward, the SLSTM network is constructed with completely linked layer and activation layers to record the temporal relationship between features and the next stage of AD. The proposed CNN-SLSTM model can be trained using real-time EEG sensor data. The performance results clearly apparent that the proposed model can efficiently predict the AD with superior accuracy of 98.67% and precision of 98.86% when compared with existing state-of-the-art techniques.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an accurate and noninvasive method employed for the diagnosis of various kinds of diseases in medical imaging. Most of the existing systems showed significant performances on small MRI datasets, while their performances decrease against large MRI datasets. Hence, the goal was to design an efficient and robust classification system that sustains a high recognition rate against large MRI dataset. Accordingly, in this study, we have proposed the usage of a novel feature extraction technique that has the ability to extract and select the prominent feature from MRI image. The proposed algorithm selects the best features from the MRI images of various diseases. Further, this approach discriminates various classes based on recursive values such as partial Z-value. The proposed approach only extracts a minor feature set through, respectively, forward and backward recursion models. The most interrelated features are nominated in the forward regression model that depends on the values of partial Z-test, while the minimum interrelated features are diminished from the corresponding feature space under the presence of the backward model. In both cases, the values of Z-test are estimated through the defined labels of the diseases. The proposed model is efficiently looking the localized features, which is one of the benefits of this method. After extracting and selecting the best features, the model is trained by utilizing support vector machine (SVM) to provide the predicted labels to the corresponding MRI images. To show the significance of the proposed model, we utilized a publicly available standard dataset such as Harvard Medical School and Open Access Series of Imaging Studies (OASIS), which contains 24 various brain diseases including normal. The proposed approach achieved the best classification accuracy against existing state-of-the-art systems.

Abstract
Simple Summary This study represents a resourceful review article that can deliver resources on neurological diseases and their implemented classification algorithms to reveal the future direction of researchers. Researchers interested in studying neurological diseases and previously implemented techniques in this field can follow this article. Various challenges occur in detecting different stages of the disorders. A limited amount of labeled and unlabeled datasets and other limitations is represented in this article to assist them in finding out the directions. The authors’ purpose for composing this article is to make a straightforward and concrete path for researchers to quickly find the way and the scope in this field for implementing future research on neurological disease detection. Abstract Neurological disorders (NDs) are becoming more common, posing a concern to pregnant women, parents, healthy infants, and children. Neurological disorders arise in a wide variety of forms, each with its own set of origins, complications, and results. In recent years, the intricacy of brain functionalities has received a better understanding due to neuroimaging modalities, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetoencephalography (MEG), and positron emission tomography (PET), etc. With high-performance computational tools and various machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) methods, these modalities have discovered exciting possibilities for identifying and diagnosing neurological disorders. This study follows a computer-aided diagnosis methodology, leading to an overview of pre-processing and feature extraction techniques. The performance of existing ML and DL approaches for detecting NDs is critically reviewed and compared in this article. A comprehensive portion of this study also shows various modalities and disease-specified datasets that detect and records images, signals, and speeches, etc. Limited related works are also summarized on NDs, as this domain has significantly fewer works focused on disease and detection criteria. Some of the standard evaluation metrics are also presented in this study for better result analysis and comparison. This research has also been outlined in a consistent workflow. At the conclusion, a mandatory discussion section has been included to elaborate on open research challenges and directions for future work in this emerging field.

Abstract
Deep learning algorithms have been moderately successful in diagnoses of diseases by analyzing medical images especially through neuroimaging that is rich in annotated data. Transfer learning methods have demonstrated strong performance in tackling annotated data. It utilizes and transfers knowledge learned from a source domain to target domain even when the dataset is small. There are multiple approaches to transfer learning that result in a range of performance estimates in diagnosis, detection, and classification of clinical problems. Therefore, in this paper, we reviewed transfer learning approaches, their design attributes, and their applications to neuroimaging problems. We reviewed two main literature databases and included the most relevant studies using predefined inclusion criteria. Among 50 reviewed studies, more than half of them are on transfer learning for Alzheimer's disease. Brain mapping and brain tumor detection were second and third most discussed research problems, respectively. The most common source dataset for transfer learning was ImageNet, which is not a neuroimaging dataset. This suggests that the majority of studies preferred pre-trained models instead of training their own model on a neuroimaging dataset. Although, about one third of studies designed their own architecture, most studies used existing Convolutional Neural Network architectures. Magnetic Resonance Imaging was the most common imaging modality. In almost all studies, transfer learning contributed to better performance in diagnosis, classification, segmentation of different neuroimaging diseases and problems, than methods without transfer learning. Among different transfer learning approaches, fine-tuning all convolutional and fully-connected layers approach and freezing convolutional layers and fine-tuning fully-connected layers approach demonstrated superior performance in terms of accuracy. These recent transfer learning approaches not only show great performance but also require less computational resources and time.

Abstract
Neuroimaging refers to the techniques that provide efficient information about the neural structure of the human brain, which is utilized for diagnosis, treatment, and scientific research. The problem of classifying neuroimages is one of the most important steps that are needed by medical staff to diagnose their patients early by investigating the indicators of different neuroimaging types. Early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease is of great importance in preventing the deterioration of the patient’s situation. In this research, a novel approach was devised based on a digital subtracted angiogram scan that provides sufficient features of a new biomarker cerebral blood flow. The used dataset was acquired from the database of K.A.U.H hospital and contains digital subtracted angiograms of participants who were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, besides samples of normal controls. Since each scan included multiple frames for the left and right ICA’s, pre-processing steps were applied to make the dataset prepared for the next stages of feature extraction and classification. The multiple frames of scans transformed from real space into DCT space and averaged to remove noises. Then, the averaged image was transformed back to the real space, and both sides filtered with Meijering and concatenated in a single image. The proposed model extracts the features using different pre-trained models: InceptionV3 and DenseNet201. Then, the PCA method was utilized to select the features with 0.99 explained variance ratio, where the combination of selected features from both pre-trained models is fed into machine learning classifiers. Overall, the obtained experimental results are at least as good as other state-of-the-art approaches in the literature and more efficient according to the recent medical standards with a 99.14% level of accuracy, considering the difference in dataset samples and the used cerebral blood flow biomarker.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a chronic and fatal neurodegenerative disease with progressive impairment of memory. Brain structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) has been widely applied as important biomarkers of AD. Various machine learning approaches, especially deep learning-based models, have been proposed for the early diagnosis of AD and monitoring the disease progression on sMRI data. However, the requirement for a large number of training images still hinders the extensive usage of AD diagnosis. In addition, due to the similarities in human whole-brain structure, finding the subtle brain changes is essential to extract discriminative features from limited sMRI data effectively. METHODS In this work, we proposed two types of contrastive losses with paired sMRIs to promote the diagnostic performance using group categories (G-CAT) and varying subject mini-mental state examination (S-MMSE) information, respectively. Specifically, G-CAT contrastive loss layer was used to learn the closer feature representation from sMRIs with the same categories, while ranking information from S-MMSE assists the model to explore subtle changes between individuals. RESULTS The model was trained on ADNI-1. Comparison with baseline methods was performed on MIRIAD and ADNI-2. For the classification task on MIRIAD, S-MMSE achieves 93.5% of accuracy, 96.6% of sensitivity, and 94.9% of specificity, respectively. G-CAT and S-MMSE both reach remarkable performance in terms of classification sensitivity and specificity respectively. Comparing with state-of-the-art methods, we found this proposed method could achieve comparable results with other approaches. CONCLUSION The proposed model could extract discriminative features under whole-brain similarity. Extensive experiments also support the accuracy of this model, i.e., it provides better ability to identify uncertain samples, especially for the classification task of subjects with MMSE in 22-27.
