Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that significantly impacts cognitive function, posing a major global health challenge. Despite its rising prevalence, particularly in low and middle-income countries, early diagnosi...
This study developed machine learning models to predict Aβ positivity in Alzheimer's disease by integrating early-phase F-Florbetaben PET and clinical data to improve diagnostic accuracy. Furthermore, the study explored machine learning models to pre...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Distinguishing neurodegenerative diseases is a challenging task requiring neurologic expertise. Clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) powered by machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence can assist with complex ...
The recent approval of anti-amyloid pharmaceuticals for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has created a pressing need for the ability to accurately identify optimal candidates for anti-amyloid therapy, specifically those with evidence for inc...
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) as one of the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorders worldwide, characterized by significant memory and cognitive decline in its later stages, severely impacting daily lives. Consequently, early diagnosis and accurate ass...

BACKGROUND: The presence of a gap between adjacent detector blocks in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanners introduces a partial loss of projection data, which can degrade the image quality and quantitative accuracy of reconstructed PET images....
. Pixelated detectors with single-ended readout are routinely used by commercial positron emission tomography scanners owing to their good energy and timing resolution and optimized manufacturing, but they typically do not provide depth-of-interactio...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) represents a significant challenge due to its progressive neurodegenerative impact, particularly within an aging global demographic. This underscores the critical need for developing sophisticated diagnostic tools for its ear...
Amyloid- positron emission tomography can reflect the Amyloid- protein deposition in the brain and thus serves as one of the golden standards for Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis. However, its practical cost and high radioactivity hinder its applic...
Low-dose PET offers a valuable means of minimizing radiation exposure in PET imaging. However, the prevalent practice of employing additional CT scans for generating attenuation maps ( -map) for PET attenuation correction significantly elevates radia...
