• Other types of dementia: Parkinson's disease dementia, vascular dementia, frontotemporal lobe dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies;
• Sudden onset or stroke-like episodes;
• Early onset of focal neurological symptoms, such as hemiparesis, computational deficits, ataxia, or sensory loss;
• Seizures or gait abnormalities early in the onset of the disease;

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	SUVR(Standardized Uptake Value Ratio)	Standardized semi-quantitative values of SUVR for each brain region of the cerebral cortex;Standardized Uptake Value ratio (SUVr) is a metric used to evaluate the results of PET scans of the brain. It is a measure of the extent of abnormal metabolism or abnormal deposits in a brain region by comparing the uptake value of a specific brain region to the uptake values of neighboring regions.; SUVr is calculated as follows: first, a reference region is selected, usually an adjacent region of healthy tissue that is unaffected by disease.; then, the uptake value for the region of interest (e.g., the brain region), denoted as SUV, is calculated.; next, the average uptake value of the reference region, denoted as SUVref, is calculated.; finally, the SUVr is calculated, obtained by dividing the SUV of the region of interest by the SUVref of the reference region.	1year
Secondary	AUC(Area under the curve)of SUVR	AUC is defined as the area under the ROC curve enclosed with the axes. ROC (receiver operating characteristic curve) receiver operating characteristic curve, is invented by electronic engineers and radar engineers in World War II used to detect enemy carriers (aircraft, ships) on the battlefield indicators, belongs to the signal detection theory.; The SV2A SUVR calculation was performed using the reference brain region method described above, and the AUC was used to measure the ability of the SUVR to classify the AD disease spectrum versus healthy controls, and its correlation with clinical scale scores was analyzed.	1year
