After single brain scan, Artificial Intelligence may diagnose dementia in a day
Some health scientists have been testing an artificial-intelligence system which is thought to be capable of diagnosing dementia after a single brain scan.


As per details, the artificial-intelligence may also be able to predict whether the condition will remain stable for many years, slowly deteriorate or need immediate treatment.
Currently, it can take several scans and tests to diagnose dementia.
The researchers involved say earlier diagnoses with their system could greatly improve patient outcomes.
The algorithm can identify patterns in the scans even expert neurologists cannot see and match them to patient outcomes in its database.
In pre-clinical tests, the system has been able to diagnose dementia, years before symptoms develop, even when there is no obvious signs of damage on the brain scan.
The trial which is taking place at Addenbrooke's Hospital and other memory clinics, will test whether it works in a clinical setting, alongside conventional ways of diagnosing dementia.
In the first year, about 500 patients are expected to participate.
Their results will go to their doctors, who can, if necessary, advise on the course of treatment.
