Abstract

Finding sensitive and appropriate technologies for early detection of the Alzheimer's disease (AD) are of fundamental importance to develop early treatments. Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) images are non-invasive observation tools to assist the diagnosis, commonly processed through unsupervised statistical tests, or assessed visually. In this work, we present a computer aided diagnosis system based on supervised learning methods, exploring two different novel approaches. Independent Component Analysis (ICA) was used within this work to extract the relevant features from the image database and reduce the feature space dimensionality, to build a SVM with the resulting data. The proposed approach led to an error estimation below the 9%, and was able to detect the AD perfusion pattern and classify new subjects in an unsupervised manner.
