Proposed Analysis: In previous studies, deep learning-based methods achoeved high performance for diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. However, detecting MCI and distinguishing pMCI from sMCI are still challenging tasks. we aim to propose a deep learning-based method to detect MCI and classify pMCI and sMCI for early Alzheimer’s disease prediction. Since 2D networks and 3D networks in previous studies achieved a reletively low performance, we aim to propose a 2.5D model for this task. In this method, the model could use pre-trained weights, which is one of the advantage of 2D networks, and could extract spatial information, which is a advantage of 3D networks.
