Synopsis

To classify healthy subjects or patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) using three-dimensional T₁w data, we developed a machine learning system which can capture morphology features and determine atrophy of brain tissue in early-stage AD. Deep learning, a support vector machine (SVM), and 3D convolutional neural networks (3DCNN) were performed. The accuracies of SVM and deep learning based on volume values were comparable and greatly exceeded the accuracy of 3DCNN. It was found that atrophic features were more considerable than morphological features in early-stage AD.
