Proposed Analysis: | As an early stage of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is able to be detected by analyzing the brain connectivity networks. For this reason, we devise a new framework via multi-scale enhanced graph convolutional network (MSE-GCN) for MCI detection, which integrates the structural and functional information from the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and resting-state functional magnetic res- onance imaging (R-fMRI), respectively. Specifically, both information in the brain connective networks is first integrated based on the local weighted clustering coefficients (LWCC), which is concatenated as the feature vector for representing a population graph’s vertice. Simultaneously, the gender and age infor- mation in each subject are integrated with the structural and functional features to construct a sparse graph. Then, various parallel graph convolutional network (GCN) layers with multiple inputs are designed from the embedding from random walk embeddings in the GCN to identify the essential MCI graph in- formation. Finally, all GCN layers’ outputs are concatenated via the fully connection layer to perform dis- ease detection. The experimental results on the public Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database show that our method is promising to detect MCI and superior to other competing algorithms, with a mean classification accuracy of 90.39% in the detection tasks. |
