Abstract
Detection of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) from magnetic resonance images can help neuroradiologists to make decision rapidly and avoid missing slight lesions in the brain. Currently, scholars have proposed several approaches to automatically detect AD. In this study, we aimed to develop a novel AD detection system with better performance than existing systems. 28 ADs and 98 HCs were selected from OASIS dataset. We used inter-class variance criterion to select single slice from the 3D volumetric data. Our classification system is based on three successful components: wavelet entropy, multilayer perceptron, and biogeography-base optimization. The statistical results of our method obtained an accuracy of 92.40 ± 0.83%, a sensitivity of 92.14 ± 4.39%, a specificity of 92.47 ± 1.23%. After comparison, we observed that our pathological brain detection system is superior to latest 6 other approaches.
