Technology developments of medical imaging and artificial intelligence in cognitive impairment
Submission Abstract:
Cognitive impairment refers to the impairment of brain functions such as memory, language, visual space, execution, and calculation. There are various causes of cognitive impairment, such as Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, Prynne's disease, Lewy body dementia, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease. So far, most of them do not have effective treatment methods, and early diagnosis and prediction are crucial for delaying the disease progression.
Traditional diagnosis mainly relies on clinical manifestations, which are highly subjective. In clinical practice, diagnosis is usually made in the late stages of obvious symptoms, missing the best opportunities for intervention and treatment. Therefore, further research on objective and accurate diagnostic and predictive methods is crucial. Artificial intelligence and medical imaging technology have developed rapidly in recent years, enabling comprehensive analysis of objective indicators of the brain and demonstrating great potential in evaluating cognitive impairments. The purpose of this research topic is to focus on the latest developments and clinical applications of artificial intelligence and medical imaging in cognitive impairment diseases.
