Alzheimer's Disease vs Bipolar Disorder vs Healthy Control MRI Data and Processed Results
This dataset contains structural and diffusion MRI data together with derived FA, TBSS, and VBM results for patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), Bipolar Disorder (BD), and healthy controls (HC).
It includes corresponding clinical and biomarker information organized in structured .csv files, supporting both neuroimaging and clinical correlation studies.
The dataset has been used in multiple peer-reviewed publications investigating white matter integrity, biomarker correlation, and multivariate diagnostic modeling of neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders.

Purpose
This dataset supports research in neurodegenerative and affective disorder differentiation, enabling:
- Quantitative analysis of white matter microstructure (FA, TBSS).
- Morphometric evaluation via SPM-based VBM.
- Correlation between MRI-derived features and clinical biomarkers.
- Machine learning model training for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) of AD vs BD.
