Abstract

PURPOSE: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a heterogeneous disease that presents a broad spectrum of clinicopathologic profiles. To date, objective subtyping of AD independent of disease progression using brain imaging has been required. Our study aimed to extract representations of unique brain metabolism patterns different from disease progression to identify objective subtypes of AD.
