Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Distinguishing Alzheimer's disease (AD) from other dementia is crucial for the future use of rifampicin. We have tried comparison of medial temporal lobe atrophy by MRI and amyloid PET for AD discrimination, distinguishing DLB, AD, and normal by perfusion SPECT and FDG PET images with AI, fractal analysis of Dopamine transporter SPECT, proposal of a new quantification method of cerebral blood flow, examination of reference region of amyloid PET by simulation, detection of degeneration by [18F]THK5351 PET, and screening of cognitive decline by facial complexion using AI.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
顔写真をAIが認知機能低下を見分けたことは、将来、AIを用いて顔で認知機能低下をスクリーニングすることができるようになるかもしれないという可能性を示しており、新聞などに取り上げられ、大きな反響があった。
