Finland scientists developed for analysis and diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) fast magnetic resonance (MR) imaging methods, analysis accuracy is high, the diagnosis is currently considered the most effective manner.
Researchers said the accurate and fast analysis method is ideal for clinical application. As a result of Alzheimer's disease, no one can stop the damage to the nervous system, so early detection of Alzheimer's disease become the guarantee of the quality of life in patients with early symptoms include key, that is, the atrophy of the brain cell loss, in MR image visible. VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland opened up this new method, use hippocampus size researchers can accurately automatically calculate atrophy.Use the new method of VTT, magnetic resonance imaging evaluation of three minutes.
At present the fastest MR image automatic evaluation methods to assess the need for 15 to 20 minutes, but sometimes the assessment or even take several hours. This method is part of the new system, including in the European Union PredictAD project, used for diagnosis of AD. The system will be completed in 2011. The objective of the project is to establish an objective, accurate, effective, rapid clinical use, but does not require substantial investment of the device. New method for development also includes other organizations, including GE Medical Group, Imperial College London, Rigshospitalet University, etc. This method is currently testing to verify its operational efficiency.
