AI Can Help Determine A Person's Specific Form Of Dementia
- On June 27, 2025, Mayo Clinic researchers published in Neurology an AI tool called StateViewer that identifies dementia types using a single brain scan.
- The tool was developed to address challenges in early dementia diagnosis, which currently requires multiple tests and specialist input and can take years.
- StateViewer analyzes FDG-PET scans showing brain glucose usage and compares them to a large database to distinguish nine dementia types, including Alzheimer's disease and Lewy body dementia.
- Researchers trained and tested StateViewer on over 3,600 scans, achieving 88% accuracy and enabling clinicians to interpret scans nearly twice as fast as standard methods.
- This AI advancement promises earlier, more precise dementia diagnosis, enhancing clinical decisions and expanding diagnostic access beyond neurology specialists.

Key Takeaways
This Tau Brain Scan Could Predict Alzheimer’s Early
A new brain scan could help detect early signs of Alzheimer’s by spotting a protein linked to memory loss. It works well in Hispanic and White adults who also have amyloid buildup, but not in Black adults, highlighting the need for more diverse studies. New Brain Imaging Benchmark for Alzheimer’s Risk Researchers at the Keck [...]
New AI tool helps clinicians identify brain activity patterns linked to nine types of dementia
Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that helps clinicians identify brain activity patterns linked to nine types of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, using a single, widely available scan - a transformative advance in early, accurate diagnosis.
Which medicines help slow down dementia?
Dementia is a condition that slowly affects memory, thinking, and everyday activities. The most common type is Alzheimer’s disease, but there are other forms too, like vascular dementia and Lewy body dementia. While there is currently no cure, some medications can help slow down the symptoms and improve quality of life for a while. So […] The post Which medicines help slow down dementia? appeared first on Knowridge Science Report.
