Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a disease that gradually develops and causes degeneration of the cells of the brain. The leading cause of AD is dementia that results in a person’s inability to work independently. In the early stages of AD, a person forgets recent conversations or the occurrence of an event. In the later stages, there could be severe loss of memory such that the person is not able to even perform everyday tasks. The medicines currently available for AD may improve its symptoms on a temporary basis in the early stage of the disease. Since no treatment is available for curing AD, its detection becomes extremely important. As the clinical treatments are very expensive, the need for automated diagnosis of AD is of critical importance. In this paper, a deep learning model based on a convolutional neural network has been used and applied to four classes of images of AD that is very mild demented, mild demented, average demented, and non-demented. It was found that the moderate demented class had the highest accuracy of 98.9%, a classification error rate of 0.01, and a specificity of 0.992. Also, the lowest false positive rate of 0.007 was obtained.
