   Proposal Description:
   My project is related to the early and post detection of AD. I am going to develop a new method which can identify the AD patients from the normal and MCI patients. I will be working on whole brain, CSF, white matter, grey matter and hippocampus. I will try to segment these parts from the images that you will provide and compare with the normal patients. I will the studying their change in shape and size from MCI and normal patients. I will be studying all these data from engineering point of view. I will try to design the classifier that will automatically classify the AD, MCI and normal patients. The expected outcome will be the automatically identification AD patients from the group MCI and normal patients.
