Improving Alzheimer’s Disease Classification with CoT-ResNet and Channel Shuffle Mechanism

Detecting early changes in the brain morphology and diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are crucial, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can assist in this process. Researchers have developed two enhanced ResNet algorithms that incorporate the Contextual Transformer (CoT) module, group convolution, and Channel Shuffle mechanism into the traditional ResNet architecture. The CoT module replaces the 3×3 […]
