Background
- Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's pose significant diagnostic challenges.
- Artificial intelligence (AI) offers promising avenues for improving early diagnosis and classification accuracy.
- AI-driven analysis of medical images, particularly MRI, can enhance patient access to timely treatments.
Purpose Of The Study
- To develop and evaluate an AI-based auto-diagnosis system for Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and healthy individuals using MRI scans.
- To leverage deep learning techniques for accurate classification of neurodegenerative conditions.
- To assess the potential of AI in providing diagnostic assistance in clinical settings.
Main Methods
- A deep hybrid network combining a convolutional neural network (CNN) and an ensemble classifier was designed.
- A very deep super-resolution neural network was employed to enhance the resolution of MRI images.
- Low and high-level features were extracted using the hybrid CNN, followed by classification with a k-nearest neighbor (KNN)-based random subspace ensemble classifier.
Main Results
- The proposed AI model achieved high performance on a 3-class dataset of MRI images.
- Key performance metrics included 99.11% accuracy, 98.75% sensitivity, 99.54% specificity, 98.65% precision, and 98.70% F1-score.
- These results demonstrate the model's effectiveness in distinguishing between Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and healthy controls.
Conclusions
- The developed AI system shows significant potential for accurate and efficient auto-diagnosis of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
- The hybrid deep learning approach effectively utilizes MRI features for classification.
- The study highlights the value of AI in supporting clinical decision-making for neurodegenerative diseases.
