Development and validation of an automatic classification algorithm for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease using a high-performance interpretable deep learning network.

• MR volumetry data revealed that TabNet had a high diagnostic performance in differentiating Alzheimer's disease (AD) from cognitive normal cases, which was comparable with that of XGBoost. • The addition of radiomics data to the volume data did not improve the diagnostic performance of TabNet. • Both TabNet and XGBoost selected the clinically meaningful regions of interest in AD, including the hippocampus, inferior lateral ventricle, and entorhinal cortex.
