Abstract

Deep Learning has shown promising results on the field of Alzheimer’s computerized diagnosis based on the neuroimaging data. Alzheimer disease is an irreversible and progressive neurodegenerative disorder that destroys gradually the brain cells. This chronic disease affect the ability of the person to carry out daily tasks. It caused many problems such as cognitive deficits, problem with recognition, memory loss and difficulties with thinking. The major breakthrough in neuroscience today is the accurate early detection of the Alzheimer’s disease based on various brain biomarkers. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive brain modality widely used for brain diseases detection specifically Alzheimer disease. It visualize a discriminate feature of the neurodegeneration which is the progressive cerebral atrophy. Various studies based on deep learning models have been proposed for the task of Alzheimer’s disease classification and prediction from brain MRI scans. However these models have been implemented from scratch. The training from scratch is tedious and time-consuming task. In this paper we conduct an analysis using Open Access Series of Imaging Studies (OASIS) dataset based on tuning different convolution neural networks. Further we propose a uni-modal Alzheimer method prediction using Efficientnet network. The Efficientnet network solve the main issues of the existing convolution neural network. Data preparation includes some pre-processing steps such as image resizing. We achieve 79% using VGG16, 92% using Resenet,93% using Densenet and we produce an accuracy of 96% using the Efficientnet model.
