Scientists in Scotland Use AI on 1.6M Brain Scans for Dementia Risk Prediction in NEURii Project

Aug 26, 2024, 04:52 AM

Scientists are leveraging artificial intelligence to analyze 1.6 million brain scans in a groundbreaking effort to predict dementia risk. This initiative, part of a global research project called NEURii, involves examining CT and MRI scans from patients in Scotland collected over more than a decade. The research is being conducted by teams from the Universities of Edinburgh and Dundee. The use of AI in this context aims to provide earlier and more accurate diagnoses of dementia, marking a significant advancement in healthcare technology.
