 ## Introduction
 Among various neuroimaging modalities used to diagnose AD, functional positron emission tomography (**PET**) has higher sensitivity than structural magnetic resonance imaging (**MRI**), but it is also **costlier and often not available** in many hospitals.
 How to **leverage massive unpaired unlabeled PET to improve the diagnosis performance of AD from MRI** becomes rather important.
