Validation of the Alzheimer's disease-resemblance atrophy index in classifying and predicting progression in Alzheimer's disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Automated tools for characterising dementia risk have the potential to aid in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Here, we examined a novel machine learning-based brain atrophy marker, the AD-resemblance atrophy index (AD-RAI), to assess its test-retest reliability and further validate its use in disease classification and prediction.

Methods

Age- and sex-matched 44 probable AD (Age: 69.13 ± 7.13; MMSE: 27-30) and 22 non-demented control (Age: 69.38 ± 7.21; MMSE: 27-30) participants were obtained from the Minimal Interval Resonance Imaging in Alzheimer's Disease (MIRIAD) dataset. Serial T1-weighted images (n = 678) from up to nine time points over a 2-year period, including 179 pairs of back-to-back scans acquired on same pa
