Abstract

The Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurological disorder. It is a slow ongoing brain disease that starts well before clinical symptoms emerge. The subsequent decline in cognitive functions worsens with time and eventually can lead to death. In this study, we worked on T2 sequence Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) of the Brain AD affected images. The brain may be affected by the AD in different regions. Proposed work concentrates on the hippocampus region affected by the AD using MRI imaging modality. In order to analysis the medical images with no noise the images are enhanced by using different filtering techniques. The work carried out in this paper discuss about different filtering techniques like Gaussian, Median, Wiener and order statistical filter. The performance of these algorithm were examined on PSNR and RMSE values. After the computation the median filter is consider to be the good filter as per the results for the MRI images of AD.
