Artificial intelligence system that could one day diagnose dementia

AI can spot patterns in brain scans that even the most experienced neurologists can't see Scientists are testing an artificial intelligence system they believe could lead to a diagnosis of dementia following a brain scan. It can also predict whether the condition will remain stable for many years, worsen gradually, or whether the patient will require immediate treatment. Currently, a number of tests and CT scans are needed to diagnose dementia. Researchers involved in the study say that early diagnosis with the system they have developed can significantly improve patients' prognosis. "If we intervene earlier, treatments can act earlier and delay the progression of the disease, and at the same time, if we intervene earlier, can prevent further damage." of the Alan Turing Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science.
