Hierarchical Information Aggregation for Incomplete Multimodal Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) poses a significant health threat to the aging population, underscoring the critical need for early diagnosis to delay disease progression and improve patient quality of life. Recent advances in heterogeneous multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) have facilitated comprehensive joint diagnosis, yet practical clinical scenarios frequently encounter incomplete modalities due to factors like high acquisition costs or radiation risks.
