Artificial intelligence (AI) could help clinicians identify patients who would benefit from the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The team at MGH used deep learning a type of machine learning and artificial intelligence that uses large amounts of data and complex algorithms to train models and improve detection of the brain disease. The AI was trained on brain magnetic resonance images (MRIs) collected from patients with and without Alzheimer’s disease who were seen at MGH before 2019.
