A New Screening Tool for Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia

Posted on

Led by Vivek Prabhakaran, MD, PhD, a group of researchers at UW-Madison are investigating ways to generate synthetic positron emission tomography (PET) images from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. By developing a reliable method to “translate” MRI images into certain types of PET images, the group hopes to cut down on the cost and risk for the …
