Diagnosis methods of Alzheimer’s disease based on signal and image processing / 国际生物医学工程杂志

ABSTRACT

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), one of the most common causes of dementia in the elderly, is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Accurate diagnosis in the early stage of AD is crucial for its treatment. Several methods based on signal processing and image analysis are presented. In particular, neuron image processing which plays an important role in AD diagnosis and its pathological analysis is discussed in detail.
