Summary
Accessible brain imaging like Transcranial Doppler (TCD) and Transcranial Sonography (TCS) can aid early dementia diagnosis. These methods offer a low-cost alternative where advanced neuroimaging is unavailable.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Medical Imaging
- Geriatrics
Background:
- Dementia is a major health concern for older adults, necessitating early diagnosis for effective management.
- Advanced neuroimaging is the standard for dementia detection but is not widely accessible.
- There is a need for cost-effective and readily available diagnostic tools for dementia.
