A research grant awarded to develop MRI techniques for early detection and monitoring of neurodegeneration, focusing on Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
Description
This project aims to develop MRI-based techniques to measure early signs of neurodegeneration in individuals, enabling detection within six months and differentiation from other dementias. The research explores precise estimation of changes in brain structures during early neurodegeneration using advanced MRI techniques to enable dynamic, individual-level tracking of neurodegeneration, facilitating early diagnosis and monitoring in clinical and research settings.
