Summary In recent years, the role of PET imaging in the prediction of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) conversion has been the subject of many longitudinal studies. The purpose of this study was to perform a meta‐analysis to estimate the diagnostic accuracy of 18F‐fluoro‐2...
