چکیده

Alzheimer's disease is characterized by impaired glucose metabolism and demonstration of amyloid plaques. Individual positron emission tomography tracers may reveal specific signs of pathology that isnot readily apparent on inspection of another one. Combination of multitracer positron emissiontomography imaging yields promising results. In this paper, 57 Alzheimer's disease neuroimaging initiative subjects that had FDG and PiB-positron emission tomography neuroimaging scans at the same time were used for development of proposed multitracer classification method. The subject’sbrain image was automatically parcellated into 48 pre-defined regions of interest. Then, 96 features were extracted for each subject. The principal features weere extracted using principal component analysis, then they were combined based on intersection strategy. Finally, a support vector machinewas adopted to evaluate the classification accuracy. Combination of two tracers with positron emissiontomography scan yielded a higher diagnostic accuracy in Alzheimer's disease compared to individual tracer and other combination methods

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
