However, it is challenging to accurately predict conversion from normal cognition (NC) to MCI, which is important for early detection and intervention. Since neuropathological changes may have occurred in the brain many years before clinical AD, we sought to detect the subtle brain changes in the pre-MCI stage using a deep-learning method based on structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objectives: &lt;/strong&gt;To discover early structural neuroimaging changes that differentiate between stable and progressive cognitive status, and to establish a predictive model for MCI conversion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Design, setting and participants: &lt;/strong&gt;We first created a unique deep-learning framework for pre-AD conversion prediction through the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative-1 (ADNI-1) database (n = 845). Then, we tested the model on ADNI-2 (n = 321, followed 3 years) and our private study (n = 109), the China Longitudinal Aging Study (CLAS), to validate the rationality for pre-MCI conversion prediction. The CLAS is a 7-year community-based cohort study in Shanghai. Our framework consisted of two steps: 1) a single-ROI-based network (SRNet) for identifying informative regions in the brain, and 2) a multi-ROI-based network (MRNet) for pre-AD conversion prediction. We then utilized these \"ROI-based deep learning\" neural networks to create a composite score using advanced algorithm-building. We coined this score as the Progressive Index (PI), which serves as a metric for assessing the propensity of AD conversion. Ultimately, we employed the PI to gauge its predictive capability for MCI conversion in both ADNI-2 and CLAS datasets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Measurements: &lt;/strong&gt;We primarily utilized baseline T1-weighted MRI scans to identify the most discriminative brain regions and subsequently developed the PI in both training and validation datasets.
