Utilizing Artificial Intelligence To Detect Alzheimer's Disease

Similar to that at the RSNA, AI developed at the University of Toronto and the Center for Addiction and Mental Health trained their Al deep learning algorithm with data from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative through the National Institutes of Health's National Institute on Aging using data from over 800 geriatric patients ranging from healthy to mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease. Their algorithm was found to be able to accurately predict cognitive decline leading to AD in cohorts by analyzing brain scans, clinical data, and genetics by up to 5 years before symptoms appear; research was published in PLOS Computational Biology.
