System for Automatic Assessment of Alzheimer’s Disease Diagnosis Based on Deep Learning Techniques

Abstract

Automatic detection of Alzheimer’s disease is a very active area of research. This is due to its usefulness in starting the protocol to stop the inevitable progression of this neurodegenerative disease. This paper proposes a system for the detection of the disease by means of Deep Learning techniques in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). As a solution, a model of neuronal networks (ANN) and two sets of reference data for training are proposed. Finally, the goodness of this system is verified within the domain of the application.
