Recent deep learning models have shown remarkable accuracy for the diagnostic classification. However, they have limitations in clinical application due to the gap between the training cohorts and real-world data. We aimed to develop a model trained only by normal brain PET data with an unsupervised manner to identify an abnormality in various disorders as imaging data of the clinical routine.

Using variational autoencoder, a type of unsupervised learning, Abnormality Score was defined as how far a given brain image is from the normal data. The model was applied to FDG PET data of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and clinical routine FDG PET data for assessing behavioral abnormality and seizures. Accuracy was measured by the area under curve (AUC) of receiver-operating-characteristic (ROC) curve. We investigated whether deep learning has …
