AI improves accuracy of brain MRI for amyloid abnormality monitoring

AuntMinnie

Using AI software with brain MR imaging improves the diagnostic accuracy for the monitoring of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) in patients undergoing beta amyloid-directed antibody therapies for Alzheimer's disease, researchers have found. Among the patients, most (52.8%) were women and most (78.9%) were white.
