Nowadays, Alzheimer's Disease (AD) has become a massive problem for middle-aged and older adults. Although due to its long incubation period and early mild symptoms, patients have a more extended period and more possibilities to check out, it is still hard for patients and doctors to diagnose in early routine examinations. This article provides a new method to help the doctor to diagnose Alzheimer's Disease in the early phase. We use transfer learning in deep learning to help diagnose Alzheimer's Disease early in developing Computed Tomography (CT) brain images. Using three pre-trained models, ShuffleNet, DenseNet, and NASNet-mobile as the transfer learning training model and convolution neural networks. We made some improvements to make it more relevant to the actual situation. DenseNet has best performance (87.36%) among the three models. We set the output into four classes: the four stages of Alzheimer's are widely recognized (Mild Demented, Moderate Demented, Very Mild Demented).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
