​A Deep Learning Model to Predict a Diagnosis of Alzheimer Disease by Using 18F-FDG PET of the Brain

Computer Vision can detect Alzheimer’s Disease in brain scans SIX YEARS before a diagnosis. Uses PET scans, which are common & cheaper. 82% specificity at 100% sensitivity. Can pick out signs hard to see with the naked eye.
