New AI tool predicts brain age, dementia risk, cancer survival -- Harvard Gazette
Unlike other AI models, BrainIAC needs limited data to ID key neurological health indicators
A new AI foundation model has been developed that can accurately extract multiple disease risk signals from routine brain MRIs, including: estimating a person's "brain age"; predicting dementia risk; detecting brain tumor mutations; and predicting survival from brain cancer, according to investigators from Harvard-affiliated Mass General Brigham.
