Queen Mary University scientists developed an fMRI-based test to predict dementia 9 years before diagnosis with 80% accuracy.
Scientists at Queen Mary University of London have developed a test that can predict dementia nine years before diagnosis with over 80% accuracy. The new method, which analyses functional MRI (fMRI) scans, detects changes in the brain's default mode network (DMN) to predict dementia development. This test could fill a significant clinical gap by identifying people at risk of dementia and treating them before symptoms appear.
