    Alzheimer's Disease affects cognitive abilities and memory, with approximately 50 million patients globally and 10 million new cases annually.

  • 2

    MRI is a key non-invasive diagnostic tool for Alzheimer's, but its interpretation is challenging and often subjective.

  • 3

    The proposed LinkNet3D model enhances MRI analysis by accurately separating brain regions while reducing computational load.

  • 4

    LinkNet3D achieved high accuracy metrics, including a Dice coefficient of 0.9715 and an IoU of 0.9446, indicating strong performance.
