• Abstract: Structural MRI and PET imaging play an important role in the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), showing the morphological changes and glucose metabolism changes in the brain respectively. The manifestations in the brain image of some cognitive impairment patients are relatively inconspicuous, for example, it still has difficulties in achieving accurate diagnosis through sMRI in clinical practice. With the emergence of deep learning, convolutional neural network (CNN) has become a valuable method in AD-aided diagnosis, but some CNN methods cannot effectively learn the features of brain image, making the diagnosis of AD still presents some challenges. In this work, we propose an end-to-end 3D CNN framework for AD diagnosis based on ResNet, which integrates multi-layer features obtained under the effect of the attention mechanism to better capture subtle differences in brain images. The attention maps showed our model can focus on key brain regions related to the disease diagnosis. Our method was verified in ablation experiments with two modality images on 792 subjects from the ADNI database, where AD diagnostic accuracies of 89.71% and 91.18% were achieved based on sMRI and PET respectively, and also outperformed some state-of-the-art methods.

The model classifies MRI into three categories: AD, mild cognitive impairment, and normal control: and has achieved 99.89% classification accuracy with imbalanced classes.
