REFERANCES Abstract The Alzheimer disease neuroimaging initiative is a globally acclaimed work of collaboration among scientists. This provides any researcher either in developed or in the developing part of the world to participate in better understanding Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Since its inception a number of papers have been published with various types of data’s. In this paper I tried to highlight the ADNI work more so dealing with history of ADNI and its data acquisition plus sharing of MRI related images and its methodology. Keywords Alzheimer s disease, ADNI, Image Processing, Brain Atlas, Magnetic Resonance Imaging 1. Introduction †¢ Alzheimer s disease (AD) the commonest form of dementia (70 %). It is a complex disease which is characterized by an accumulation of ÃŽ ²-amyloid (AÃŽ ²) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of tau amyloid fibrils associated with synapse loss and
