Disease Diagnosis
Disease diagnosis, particularly for neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's, is rapidly advancing through the application of machine learning and deep learning algorithms to medical imaging data, primarily MRI. Current research focuses on improving the accuracy and efficiency of these diagnostic tools, employing architectures such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), transformers, and hybrid models that integrate both, often incorporating attention mechanisms to enhance feature extraction from complex 3D brain scans. These advancements hold significant promise for earlier and more accurate diagnosis, enabling timely interventions and personalized treatment strategies, ultimately improving patient outcomes and informing clinical practice.
