DESCRIPTION:Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is known as the most common form of 
 dementia and turns\nout to be one of the fatal neurodegenerative disorders
  particularly among the older population.\nMore than 50 million people are
  affected globally because of this ailment and India\, at present\,\nexper
 iences the burden of over 6 million AD patient. Because of the increased l
 ife expectancy\,\nthis type of geriatric diseases increases the financial 
 burden of the society at large. As far as the\nprogress in medical science
  is concerned\, there is no such full proof diagnosis available to cure\nt
 his disease and hence the only option left is to restrict the growth of it
 s progression. Medical\nscientists and technologists have put their hands 
 together to solve this biggest challenge of\nhuman society. It has come to
  the observation of the researchers that significant tissue loss\nfrom the
  different parts of the brain primarily becomes responsible for AD. In add
 ition to this\,\nsynaptic region between two neurons is also affected beca
 use of the accumulation of protein\nelements. MRI images are predominantly
  used for the identification and understanding the\nseverity of the diseas
 e. A number of well-developed algorithms have been introduced to\ndistingu
 ish a healthy brain from a demented one. Moreover\, the severity of the di
 sease can also\nbe judged in the same way by identifying the mild cognitiv
 e impairment stage in between\nhealthy and demented brain. These type of a
 pproaches seem to be extremely useful in the\nsense that they can raise ap
 propriate signals to the patient concerned and to the society at\nlarge.\n
