CHICAGO – Black patients receive fewer MRI scans for Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis and undergo imaging at an older age than other racial groups, according to research presented November 27 at RSNA 2023. Additionally, new treatments have recently become available for Alzheimer’s disease that can potentially slow the rate of decline.
