Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a leading cause of dementia worldwide, primarily affects individuals over the age of 60. Early diagnosis is critical to slowing disease progression and preventing brain damage. In this paper, we propose a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model combining Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to classify Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images into four stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Our optimized architecture utilizes an extensive data augmentation method through TensorFlow’s ImageDataGenerator to increase data variability, reduce overfitting, and improve generalization to new data. Our model outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods, achieving an accuracy of 99.38%, which demonstrates the robustness of this architecture in AD detection.

摘要

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a leading cause of dementia worldwide, primarily affects individuals over the age of 60. Early diagnosis is critical to slowing disease progression and preventing brain damage. In this paper, we propose a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model combining Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to classify Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images into four stages of Alzheimer’s disease. Our optimized architecture utilizes an extensive data augmentation method through TensorFlow’s ImageDataGenerator to increase data variability, reduce overfitting, and improve generalization to new data. Our model outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods, achieving an accuracy of 99.38%, which demonstrates the robustness of this architecture in AD detection.
