    Keywords : Alzheimer s disease; amyloid beta; amyloid; fluorescent probes; fluorescent ligands;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia in the world and the World Health Organization has recognized AD as a global public health priority. One of the pathological hallmarks of AD is amyloid plaques formed from amyloid β (Aβ) fibrils. Aβ is formed when amyloid precursor protein is cleaved by secretase enzymes. READ MORE

  5. 4. Influence of T1 and T2 weighted MRI images on automated  diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Arnold Teo; Daniel Tsada Yosief; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and according to the World Health Organization it contributes to 60-70% of the approximately 50 million total worldwide dementia cases. While AD is easy to diagnose from a patient’s symptoms alone, due to AD atrophying brain tissue, a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan can strengthen the diagnosis. READ MORE

  6. 5. Prioritization of Informative Regions in PET Scans for Classification of Alzheimer's Disease

    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för informationsteknologi

    Author : Fredrik Mårtensson; Erik Westberg; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a widespread neurodegenerative disease. The disease causes brain atrophy, resulting in memory loss, decreased cognitive ability, and eventually death. There is currently no cure for the disease, but treatment may delay the onset. Therefore, it is crucial to detect the disease at an early stage. READ MORE
