This paper focused on the problem of diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease via the combination of deep learning and radiomics methods. We proposed a classification model for Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis based on improved convolution neural network models and image fusion method and compared it with existing network models. We collected 182 patients in the ADNI and PPMI database to classify Alzheimer’s disease, and reached 0.906 AUC in training with single modality images, and 0.941 AUC in training with fusion images. This proved the proposed method has better performance in the fusion images. The research may promote the application of multimodal images in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Fusion images dataset based on multi-modality images has higher diagnosis accuracy than single modality images dataset. Deep learning methods and radiomics significantly improve the diagnosing accuracy of Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis.

In the past decade, many studies have been conducted to advance computer-aided systems for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) diagnosis. Most of them have recently developed systems concentrated on extracting and combining features from MRI, PET, and CSF. For the most part, they have obtained very high performance. However, improving the performance of a classification problem is complicated, specifically when the model’s accuracy or other performance measurements are higher than 90%. In this study, a novel methodology is proposed to address this problem, specifically in Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis classification. This methodology is the first of its kind in the literature, based on the notion of replication on the feature space instead of the traditional sample space. Briefly, the main steps of the proposed method include extracting, embedding, and exploring the best subset of features. For feature extraction, we adopt VBM-SPM; for embedding features, a concatenation strategy is used on the features to ultimately create one feature vector for each subject. Principal component analysis is applied to extract new features, forming a low-dimensional compact space. A novel process is applied by replicating selected components, assessing the classification model, and repeating the replication until performance divergence or convergence. The proposed method aims to explore most significant features and highest-preforming model at the same time, to classify normal subjects from AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients. In each epoch, a small subset of candidate features is assessed by support vector machine (SVM) classifier. This repeating procedure is continued until the highest performance is achieved. Experimental results reveal the highest performance reported in the literature for this specific classification problem. We obtained a model with accuracies of 98.81%, 81.61%, and 81.40% for AD vs. normal control (NC), MCI vs. NC, and AD vs. MCI classification, respectively.
