    Due to low accuracy, the C-PIB-PET scan is not recommended as an early diagnostic tool or for predicting the development of AD when people show signs of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). [160] The use of 18 F-FDG PET scans, as a single test, to identify people who may develop Alzheimer's disease is not supported by evidence. [161]
