Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) as the second most common dementia encompasses a range of syndromes and often shows overlapping symptoms with other subtypes or neurodegenerative diseases, which poses a significant clinical diagnostic challenge. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), specifically the application of machine learning (ML) algorithms to neuroimaging, have significantly progressed in addressing this challenge. This study aims to assess the diagnostic and predictive efficacy of neuroimaging feature-based AI algorithms for FTLD.
