Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) imposes a growing burden on public health due to its impact on memory, cognition, behavior, and social skills. Early detection using non-invasive brain magnetic resonance images (MRI) is vital for disease management. We introduce CCADD (Corpus Callosum-based Alzheimer's Disease Detection), a user-friendly webserver that automatically identifies and segments the corpus callosum (CC) region from brain MRI slices. Extracted shape and size-based features of CC are fed into Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest (RF), eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) classifiers to predict AD or Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Exhaustive benchmarking on ADNI data reveals high prediction accuracies for different AD severity levels. CCADD empowers clinicians and researchers for AD detection. This server is available at: http://www.hpppi.iicb.res.in/add.
