Data from 65 Alzheimer's disease and 136 cognitively normal subjects were included in the study. We compared Alzheimer's disease classification techniques, using structural and resting-state functional MRI biomarkers. When the RfMRI classification result agreed with the structural MRI classification result, the subjects were classified with 90% accuracy. The incongruous classification results may predict disease conversion or treatment response.
