New AI plus MRI system accurately detects genuine Alzheimer's sufferers (as opposed to people with other diseases that have similar symptoms) 98% of the time. This is huge, because now the mistake that may have skewed results on many clinical trials -- giving a drug to people who don't actually have Alzheimer's -- can be avoided.

Using machine learning, researchers at Imperial College London have developed an algorithm that can accurately diagnose Alzheimer’s disease from a single MRI brain scan. The system is more accurate than any pre-existing diagnostic tool available to doctors and can also distinguish early-stage disease from more advanced stages, according to the new research.
The research, published Monday in the peer-reviewed Nature Portfolio Journal, Communications Medicine, tested the new algorithm on scans of more than 400 patients with early and later stage Alzheimer’s, patients with other neurological conditions, as well as healthy controls.
