Abstract

.Alzheimer¡¯s disease is a neurogenerative disease that alters memories, cognitive functions leading to death. Early diagnosis of the disease, by detection of the preliminary stage, called Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), remains a challenging issue. In this respect, we introduce, in this paper, a powerful classification architecture that implements the pre-trained network AlexNet to automatically extract the most prominent features from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images in order to detect the Alzheimer¡¯s disease at the MCI stage. The proposed method is evaluated using a big database from OASIS Database Brain. Various sections of the brain: frontal, sagittal and axial were used. The proposed method achieved 96.83% accuracy by using 420 subjects: 210 Normal and 210 MRI.
