A research team at the University of Edinburgh in the UK released a report on the 24th that they used MRI scanning technology to construct a digital map of the brains of healthy elderly people, which will help diagnose Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. treatment.
According to the researchers, the current digital map of the brain is usually from the brain scans of healthy young people and middle-aged people, but this does not fully reflect the changes in the brain after the age.
To this end, they performed MRI scans of 130 healthy elderly people over the age of 60 to obtain relevant image information to construct a brain map.
The researchers then used this map to compare the brain scan images of Alzheimer's patients. They found that with the help of the map, it was possible to more accurately detect small changes in the brain of the patient. Such changes in brain structure were not easily detected, but with the help of the map, the doctor can better judge. The condition, the treatment.
Researchers say they are continuing to build a better brain map that will include brain information for people of all ages, and once completed, it will improve the early diagnosis of more diseases.
This research report has been published in the Comprehensive Volume of the Public Library of Science.
