Comparing two artificial intelligence software packages for normative brain volumetry in memory clinic imaging.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare two artificial intelligence software packages performing normative brain volumetry and explore whether they could differently impact dementia diagnostics in a clinical context.

Methods

Sixty patients (20 Alzheimer's disease, 20 frontotemporal dementia, 20 mild cognitive impairment) and 20 controls were included retrospectively. One MRI per subject was processed by software packages from two proprietary manufacturers, producing two quantitative reports per subject. Two neuroradiologists assigned forced-choice diagnoses using only the normative volumetry data in these reports. They classified the volumetric profile as "normal," or "abnormal", and if "abnormal," they specified the most likely dementia subtype. Differences between the packages' clinical impact
