Verbal decision analysis applied on the optimization of Alzheimer's disease diagnosis: a case study based on neuroimaging.

There is a great challenge in identifying the early diagnosis of the Alzheimer's disease, which has become the most frequent cause of dementia in the last few years, being responsible for 50% of the cases in western countries. The main focus of the work is the development of a multicriteria model for aiding in the decision making on the diagnosis of the Alzheimer's disease. It will be made by means of the Aranaú Tool, a decision support system mainly based on the ZAPROS method.
