The use of back propagation neural networks and 18F-Florbetapir PET for early detection of Alzheimer's disease using Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative database.

Amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques aggregation is considered as the "start" of the degenerative process that manifests years before the clinical symptoms appear in Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The aim of this study is to use back propagation neural networks (BPNNs) in 18F-florbetapir PET data for...
