Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is one of MR imaging techniques for measurement of cerebral blood flow (CBF) without using the contrast medium. The CBF map image measured by the ASL imaging can be used to help discriminate individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) from normal subjects. We have developed a computerized classification method for patients with AD based on CBF map obtained by the ASL technique. The average CBFs in cortical regions of cerebral lobes were determined by using a free-form deformation between ALS image and the Talairach brain atlas. Finally, an artificial neural network, which was trained by the average CBFs in cortical regions, was employed for distinguishing patients with AD from control subjects. We applied the proposed method to 10 patients with AD and 10 control subjects. As a result, all cases could be classified correctly in the evaluation of resubstitution test.
