Universities of Edinburgh and Dundee researchers use AI to analyze 1.6 million brain scans to predict dementia risk and develop an early diagnosis tool.

Universities of Edinburgh and Dundee researchers, part of the global NEURii collaboration, plan to analyze up to 1.6 million brain scans using AI to predict dementia risk and develop a tool for early diagnosis. The AI tool is aimed at creating a digital tool for radiologists to use when scanning patients, helping determine their dementia risk and diagnose early-stage diseases. By identifying high-risk patient groups, the researchers hope to develop more precise treatments for various types of dementia, such as Alzheimer's, as new treatments are more effective in the early stages of the disease.
