Dementia is one of the major issues in public health all over the world. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is its most common and famous form. Late detection of AD has irreparable effects for the people suffering from it. Cognitive assessment tests are the conventional approach to detect AD. They are quick to do, and not costly. However, they have low predictive values. Therefore, other ways such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used. Recently, advances in computer-aided diagnosis system (CADS) using MRI have provided useful information in the quantitative evaluation of AD at an early stage. Although it cannot be substituted with the doctors, but it helps. Many algorithms for CADS were presented, which means CADS is one of the growing techniques in this field. Because there is no standardized approach to determine the best one, it is essential to be familiar with general approaches to design a CADS. This chapter deals with a general approach for design and develop a reliable CADS using biomarkers extracted from MRI. The advancement of using CAS and MRI for AD are discussed

Abstract
Dementia is one of the major issues in public health all over the world. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is its most common and famous form. Late detection of AD has irreparable effects for the people suffering from it. Cognitive assessment tests are the conventional approach to detect AD. They are quick to do, and not costly. However, they have low predictive values. Therefore, other ways such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are used. Recently, advances in computer-aided diagnosis system (CADS) using MRI have provided useful information in the quantitative evaluation of AD at an early stage. Although it cannot be substituted with the doctors, but it helps. Many algorithms for CADS were presented, which means CADS is one of the growing techniques in this field. Because there is no standardized approach to determine the best one, it is essential to be familiar with general approaches to design a CADS. This chapter deals with a general approach for design and develop a reliable CADS using biomarkers extracted from MRI. The advancement of using CAS and MRI for AD are discussedI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
