Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis using a Multimodal Approach with 3D MRI and PET

arXiv:2606.20037v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an irreversible neurodegenerative disorder and a leading cause of death worldwide. Early diagnosis plays an important part especially at the Mild Cognitive Impairment stage, where timely intervention can help slow its progression before it advances to AD. Neuroimaging data, like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans, can help detect brain changes early by providing structural and functional brain changes related to the disease. Yet, many multimodal models still fuse MRI and PET w

Why this matters
Why now

Advances in AI, particularly multimodal models and 3D imaging analysis, are enabling more sophisticated diagnostics for diseases like Alzheimer's.

Why it’s important

Early and accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease can significantly improve patient outcomes by allowing timely intervention before severe progression and informing drug development efforts.

What changes

The diagnostic landscape for neurodegenerative diseases could become more precise and less invasive, potentially shifting the timeline for medical intervention and therapeutic development.
