Alzheimer's disease diagnosis on structural MR Images using Circular Harmonic Functions descriptors on Hippocampus and Posterior Cingulate Cortex

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease characterized by severe deterioration in cognitive function, especially by memory loss. Nowadays, it represents a major public health problem. An early diagnosis of AD will allow patients to benefit from new treatments that may slow down neurodegeneration.
