We describe a multi-atlas-based method for corpus
callosum segmentation and a fused Lasso logistic
regression (FLLR) classifier that is able to
differentiate patients with very mild/mild AD from
normal controls (NC) using their CC thickness profile.
We evaluated this technique using data from 196
individuals (98 AD and 98 NC) in the OASIS database. The
FLLR classification accuracy was estimated to be 84%
using cross-validation. Furthermore, the FLLR method
highlights regions of the CC that are significantly
thinner in AD relative to NC. The FLLR model presented
can be extended to include other imaging or chemical
biomarkers of AD.
