Due to both the hidden nature and the irreversibility of Alzheimers disease (AD), it has become the killer of the elderly and is thus the focus of much attention in the medical field. Radiologists compare the predicted brain age with the ground truth...
BACKGROUND: Memory dysfunction is characteristic of aging and often attributed to Alzheimer's disease (AD). An easily administered tool for preliminary assessment of memory function and early AD detection would be integral in improving patient manage...
Aging biomarkers are the qualitative and quantitative indicators of the aging processes of the human body. Estimation of biological age is important for assessing the physiological state of an organism. The advent of machine learning lead to the deve...
