Alzheimer Disease
Computer program assesses risk of AD
July 12th, 2005
Pamela Mcdonnell, pamela.mcdonnell@nyumc.org, 212-404-3555 New computer program uses brain scans to assess risk of Alzheimer's disease. New York University School of Medicine researchers have developed a brain scan-based computer program that quickly and accurately measures metabolic activity in a key region of the brain affected in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. Applying the program, they demonstrated that reductions in brain metabolism in healthy individuals were associated with the later development of the memory robbing disease, according to a new study. "This is the first demonstration that reduced metabolic...
