6
7 This project is focused on developing a novel nosological and diagnostic framework for neurodegenerative diseases by using advanced AI techniques and integrating data from neuroimaging, biomarkers, and biomedical ontologies.
8 We aim to create a structured, interpretable, and scalable diagnostic tool.

18 == **Overview** ==
19
20 The //Tridimensional Diagnostic Framework// redefines how neurodegenerative diseases (NDD) are classified by focusing on:
21
22 * **Axis 1**: Etiology (genetic or other causes of diseases).
23 * **Axis 2**: Molecular Markers (biomarkers).
24 * **Axis 3**: Neuroanatomoclinical correlations (linking clinical symptoms to structural changes in the nervous system).
25
26 [[Neurodegenerative diseases can be studied and classified in a tridimensional scheme with three axes: anatomic–clinical, molecular, and etiologic. CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; FDG, fluorodeoxyglucose; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging; PET, positron emission tomography.>>image:tridimensional.png||alt="tridimensional view of neurodegenerative diseases"]]

28
29 This methodology enables:
30
31 * Greater precision in diagnosis.
32 * Integration of incomplete datasets using AI-driven probabilistic modeling.
33 * Stratification of patients for personalized treatment.
34
35 == **Diagnostic Axes** ==
36
37 * (((
38 **Axis 1: Etiology**
39
40 * //Description//: Focuses on genetic and sporadic causes, identifying risk factors and potential triggers.
41 * //Examples//: APOE ε4 as a genetic risk factor, or cardiovascular health affecting NDD progression.
42 * //Tests//: Genetic testing, lifestyle and cardiovascular screening.
43 )))
44 * (((
45 **Axis 2: Molecular Markers**
46
47 * //Description//: Analyzes primary (amyloid-beta, tau) and secondary biomarkers (NFL, GFAP) for tracking disease progression.
48 * //Examples//: CSF amyloid-beta concentrations to confirm Alzheimer’s pathology.
49 * //Tests//: Blood/CSF biomarkers, PET imaging (Tau-PET, Amyloid-PET).
50 )))
51 * (((
52 **Axis 3: Neuroanatomoclinical**
53
54 * //Description//: Links clinical symptoms to neuroanatomical changes, such as atrophy or functional impairments.
55 * //Examples//: Hippocampal atrophy correlating with memory deficits.
56 * //Tests//: MRI volumetrics, FDG-PET, neuropsychological evaluations.

58
59 == **Applications** ==
60
61 This system enhances:
62
63 * **Research**: By stratifying patients, reduces cohort heterogeneity in clinical trials.
64 * **Clinical Practice**: Provides dynamic diagnostic annotations with timestamps for longitudinal tracking.
