University of Florida researchers have shown how common clinical brain magnetic resonance imaging scans can be harnessed to better understand the body’s inner workings. This breakthrough could lead to earlier detection of cognitive and physical decline — and pave the way for earlier treatments.
Previously, obtaining estimates of brain age required higher-resolution and considerably more expensive research-grade brain scans, which seldom are used in clinical settings. By leveraging lower-resolution clinical MRIs, it became possible to gauge brain age during routine diagnostic procedures for injury and illness.
“We’re coaxing the brain to give up its secrets by developing a new tool so that caregivers can one day easily use artificial intelligence to understand the invisible toll or benefit our lives exact...
