A new Mayo Clinic AI tool detects dementia patterns in brain scans with remarkable precision, potentially transforming early diagnosis.
A powerful new “Every patient who walks into my clinic carries a unique story shaped by the brain’s complexity,” Dr. Jones says. “That complexity drew me to neurology and continues to drive my commitment to clearer answers. StateViewer reflects that commitment — a step toward earlier understanding, more precise treatment and, one day, changing the course of these diseases.” To bring that vision to life, Dr. Jones worked alongside Leland Barnard, Ph.D., a data scientist who leads the AI engineering behind StateViewer. “As we were designing StateViewer, we never lost sight of the fact that behind every data point and brain scan was a person facing a difficult diagnosis and urgent questions,” Dr. Barnard says. “Seeing how this tool could assist physicians with real-time, precise insights and guidance highlights the potential of DOI: 10.1212/WNL.0000000000213831 Never miss a breakthrough: Join the SciTechDaily newsletter.
