On bloodvessel branching analysis for the detection of Alzheimer's disease
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is increasingly prevalent in modern society and methods for its diagnosis are only just starting to emerge. Given images of brain tissue, we show how Alzheimer’s disease can be detected from the branching structures of blood vessels. This is achieved by a new approach which counts the branching points and derives measures which are suited to the analysis of small branching structures. The measures are formulated to be rotation, scale and position invariant and are deployed in tandem with more standard measures. Analysis on a database comprised of brain tissue samples from subjects who are normal, with Alzheimer’s and age matched normal has shown capability to classify correctly images of brain tissue from subjects afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease.

Abstract
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is increasingly prevalent in modern society and methods for its diagnosis are only just starting to emerge. Given images of brain tissue, we show how Alzheimer’s disease can be detected from the branching structures of blood vessels. This is achieved by a new approach which counts the branching points and derives measures which are suited to the analysis of small branching structures. The measures are formulated to be rotation, scale and position invariant and are deployed in tandem with more standard measures. Analysis on a database comprised of brain tissue samples from subjects who are normal, with Alzheimer’s and age matched normal has shown capability to classify correctly images of brain tissue from subjects afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease.
