image of RESIGN: Alzheimer's Disease Detection Using Hybrid Deep Learning based Res-Inception Seg Network

Abstract

Introduction

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading cause of death, making early detection critical to improve survival rates. Conventional manual techniques struggle with early diagnosis due to the brain's complex structure, necessitating the use of dependable deep learning (DL) methods. This research proposes a novel RESIGN model is a combination of Res-InceptionSeg for detecting AD utilizing MRI images.

Methods

The input MRI images were pre-processed using a Non-Local Means (NLM) filter to reduce noise artifacts. A ResNet-LSTM model was used for feature extraction, targeting White Matter (WM), Grey Matter (GM), and Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF). The extracted features were concatenated and classified into Normal, MCI, and AD categories using an Inception V3-based classifier. Additionally, SegNet was employed for abnormal brain region segmentation.

Results

The RESIGN model achieved an accuracy of 99.46%, specificity of 98.68%, precision of 95.63%, recall of 97.10%, and an F1 score of 95.42%. It outperformed ResNet, AlexNet, DenseNet, and LSTM by 7.87%, 5.65%, 3.92%, and 1.53%, respectively, and further improved accuracy by 25.69%, 5.29%, 2.03%, and 1.71% over ResNet18, CLSTM, VGG19, and CNN, respectively.

Discussion

The integration of spatial-temporal feature extraction, hybrid classification, and deep segmentation makes RESIGN highly reliable in detecting AD. A 5-fold cross-validation proved its robustness, and its performance exceeded that of existing models on the ADNI dataset. However, there are potential limitations related to dataset bias and limited generalizability due to uniform imaging conditions.

Conclusion

The proposed RESIGN model demonstrates significant improvement in early AD detection through robust feature extraction and classification by offering a reliable tool for clinical diagnosis.
