Abstract

BACKGROUND: Various machine learning (ML) models based on resting-state functional MRI (Rs-fMRI) have been developed to facilitate differential diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the diagnostic accuracy of such models remains understudied. Therefore, we conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the diagnostic accuracy of Rs-fMRI-based radiomics in differentiating MCI from AD.
