Scientists to use AI to analyse 1.6m brain scans to develop tool predicting dementia risk

Researchers will use artificial intelligence to match image data of patients from Scotland with linked health records

Scientists are to analyse more than a million brain scans using artificial intelligence with the aim of developing a tool to predict a person's risk of dementia.

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Dundee will examine CT and MRI scans of patients from Scotland captured over more than a decade, as part of a global research effort called NEURii.
