University of Southampton researchers develop 93% accurate, near-instant Alzheimer's test using multi-excitation Raman spectroscopy.

Researchers at the University Hospital Southampton and the University of Southampton have developed a new laser-based test called multi-excitation Raman spectroscopy (MX-Raman) that could diagnose dementia types within seconds. This method, which analyzes bodily fluids, offers an accuracy rate of over 93% for Alzheimer's detection. The innovation aims to significantly reduce the lengthy current diagnostic process, improving early detection and treatment for millions affected by dementia.
