I see an article that FDG-PET can be used to distinguish between Alzhimers and Frontotemporal dimentias, but I don't see any current imaging being implemented in the detection of possible Alzhimers. This test, however, looks promising to get earliest diagnosis to try to prevent further decline. This is before any symptoms show, so it might be a great "pap smear" of the brain, as a blood test is easier to get done on the patient

Living with Alzheimer’s disease was one of the hardest experiences of my life. The memory loss, the confusion, and the fear of losing myself weighed on me every single day.
