Introduction
AlZheimer's Disease: What
- Alzheimer’s is an irreversible, progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and disorder cognitive function.
- Clinical studies can indicate disease first symptoms of cognitive impairment while the disease is already in an dvanced stage
- Sixth leading cause of death in the United States.
- One out of 85 persons will have Alzheimers disease (AD) by 2050

AlZheimer's Disease: Why
- Plaques. These clumps of a protein called beta-amyloid may damage and destroy brain cells in several ways, including interfering with inter-cell communication.
-
Tangles. Twisted fibers of a protein called tau. disintegrate the transport system so nutrients and other essential supplies can no longer move through the cells, which eventually die.

AlZheimer's Disease: Causes

Dying cells cause brain shrinkage
AlZheimer’s Diagnostic
- Review medical history
- Mini Mental Status Exam (MMSE)
- Physical Exam
- Neurological Exam
- Brain Image: Structural(MRI,CT), Functional(fMRI), PET (Positron Emission Tomography)
- Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)

Allows for measurement of the 3-dimensional (3D) volume of brain structures, especially the size of the hippocampus and ventricles enlargement

Diagnosis Methods
Automatic methods:
volumetric and shape features together with PCA and SVM were used to
classify MRI images as having the disease or not (Lee, et al., 2009).
