Alzheimer
This neural network can tell if you're likely to develop Alzheimer's disease in the next three years
Doctors call this mild cognitive impairment, and it affects most people as they get older. Certain types of PET scans can reveal signs of both these conditions and can therefore be used to spot people with mild cognitive impairment who are most at risk of developing Alzheimer's. This data set consists of brain images of 182 people in their 70s with normal brains and brain images of 139 people of roughly the same age who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Hongyoon and Kyong say their neural network identified those at risk of developing Alzheimer's with an accuracy of 81 percent.
