New computer-aided diagnosis of dementia using positron emission tomography: brain regional sensitivity-mapping method.

New computer-aided diagnosis of dementia using positron emission tomography: brain regional sensitivity-mapping method.

We devised a new computer-aided diagnosis method to segregate dementia using one estimated index (Total Z score) derived from the Brodmann area (BA) sensitivity map on the stereotaxic brain atlas. The purpose of this study is to investigate its accuracy to differentiate patients with Alzheimer'...
