Using classifiers based on the automated machine learning training, the researchers were then able to predict the Alzheimer's diagnosis or progression of single patients with a high degree of accuracy, ranging from 82 percent to 90 percent. Researchers in The Netherlands may have discovered a new way of detecting early symptoms of Alzheimer 's and early forms of dementia with a combination of MRI scans and artificial intelligence . The technology works by applying machine learning to an MRI scan that measures the average absorption rate of blood throughout the brain , hoping that the more scans applied to it , the AI system will be able to detect patterns before the brain reaches a point of cognitive decline .
