Abstract:

A multi-scale resnet (MSResnet) method was proposed in this paper, which employed multi-scale convolution kernel to extract multi-scale information of structural magnetic resonance imaging MRI, and carried out residual learning for neural network, so as to avoid network degradation. After the gray scale standardization of MRI, the 99.41% classification precision was obtained by using the MSResnet model between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and normal control (NC), and the classification accuracy between AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) was 97.35%. Compared with the existing approaches, the algorithm proposed in this paper improved the classification accuracy significantly.

Key words: MSResnet, magnetic resonance imaging, Alzheimer's disease, gray scale standardization
