摘要

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline and memory loss. Early and accurate detection of AD is crucial for effective treatment and intervention. This research communication paper proposes a novel approach for detecting Alzheimer’s disease using brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images and a deep learning model built by integrating skip connections with the DEMentia NETwork (DEMNET) model. The proposed model leverages the power of deep neural networks to automatically learn discriminative features from brain MRI images and classify them as among 4 classes—Non Demented, Mild Demented, Very Mild Demented and Moderate Demented. Skip connections (SC) are incorporated into the network architecture to enable efficient information flow and alleviate the vanishing gradient problem, thereby enhancing the model’s performance in capturing both local and global image features. The model was trained on ADNI Dataset and Kaggle Dataset with 4 classes. Each class was balanced such that each class has 3200 images.
