A novel method and software for automatically classifying Alzheimer ’s disease patients by magnetic resonance imaging analysis

The Alzheimer ’s Disease (AD) is one of the most common form of dementia, prevailing in people with over 65 years. In AD, normal brain tissues are degenerated and this fact can cause a reduction of memory and mental abilities. Magnetic resonance imaging does have a good ability for differentiating between soft tissues, thus providing useful information about organs like the brain. It is a tool that allows to diagnose many brain diseases including the Alzheimer’s disease. Multiple approaches successfully used MRI brain scans for abnormality/ normality Alzheimer assessment in the past [1–5].
