Note: The training dataset of the head‐to‐head comparison was split into subjects who were scanned with only one tracer (single‐tracer) and those who were scanned with multiple tracers (mixed‐tracer). Statistically significant differences are denoted with asterisks and crosses. Asterisks (*) indicate comparisons between head‐to‐head and each of the 4 training sub‐cohorts, whereas crosses (✝) indicate FBP versus PiB comparisons within a single/mixed tracer cohort. The number of symbols indicates the significance level (1 = p < 0.05, 2 = p < 0.01, 3 = p < 0.005, 4 = p < 1e‐4). Note that the reported CDRs are counted by scans, where the closest CDR score in time was assigned to every scan.

Abbreviations: APOE = apolipoprotein‐E4; CDR = Clinical Dementia Rating; sd = standard deviation.
