AI-calculated brain age predicts dementia risk years before doctors can see it

Memory clinics still rely on visual rating scales to assess brain atrophy, yet these tools lack the sensitivity to catch subtle changes associated with early dementia. A measure of how old a person’s brain appears on brain scans compared with their actual age might be a potential predictor of who is more likely to develop dementia over the years, reports a new study published in Neurology.

AI reveals distinct cell defects inside breast cancer

Researchers at the University of Southampton have developed a powerful AI tool that reveals previously invisible patterns inside breast cancers. It uncovers how tiny cellular structures called centrosomes change as tumors grow, spread and evolve. The technology could help clinicians identify high-risk patients, predict how breast cancer might progress and deliver more targeted treatments.
