Scientists to use AI and 1.6 million brain scans for earlier and more accurate dementia diagnoses
One of the bright sides of AI could be in helping predict a common ailment of aging.
Researchers in Scotland hope to develop a set of artificial intelligence (AI) tools that can predict the risk of dementia in their patients. To do so, they will compare up to 1.6 million CT and MRI scans with linked public health records to find patterns that could help doctors better predict someone’s risk of developing dementia. “Should we establish a successful proof of concept, we will have a suite of software tools that are smoothly and unobtrusively integrated with routine radiology operations that assist clinical decision-making and flag the risk of dementia as early as possible,” said Professor Emanuele Trucco, an expert in AI and medical imaging at the University of Dundee, as quoted by The Guardian.
