A progressive loss of brain function is the hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD), which is frequently linked to a serious deterioration in cognitive abilities. Early detection is therefore essential for successful treatments. Introducing two specialised models for medical imaging and CSF values analysis, this work addresses the critical demand for precise diagnostic instruments in radiology and neurology. The first model, Biomarker, is carefully designed for biomarker analysis and achieves 100% accuracy in AD identification on a dataset of 810 patients. The deployment of a Random Forest Classifier enables this noteworthy result, demonstrating Biomarker's effectiveness in differentiating AD cases from non-AD cases. The second model, YOLOv8, is exceptional at identifying brain anomalies in MRI scans. Using advanced post-processing algorithms, batch normalisation, and convolutional layers, YOLOv8 achieves an impressive mean Average Precision (mAP) of 99.8%. YOLOv8 accurately distinguished among the various phases of cognitive impairment, including extremely mild, mild, moderate, and non-demented cases. Both approaches show great promise for early diagnosis and clinical decision-making when combined with the Biomarker (Random Forest) model for detecting Alzheimer's disease, thereby improving patient outcomes.
