Mayo Clinic’s AI Tool Identifies 9 Dementia Types, Including Alzheimer’s, With One Scan 

Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that helps health care professionals identify brain activity patterns linked to nine types of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, using a single, widely available scan. This tool offers a transformative advance in early, accurate diagnosis.;;

The tool, StateViewer, helped researchers identify the dementia type in 88% of cases. It also enabled health care professionals to interpret brain scans nearly twice as fast and with up to three times greater accuracy than standard workflows.;

StateViewer analyzes a fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan, which shows how . . .
