Detecting Beta-amyloid in the Retina

Resumo breve

Hyperspectral retinal imaging is a non-invasive imaging modality in which a series of images of the retina are captured using light of different wavelengths. The resulting "hypercube" of data provides detailed information about retinal structure. Previous research has demonstrated a potential role for this technology in the detection of retinal amyloid beta in Alzheimer's disease. This study aims to further evaluate the use of hyperspectral retinal imaging in the assessment of individuals with dementia or those at risk of Alzheimer's disease.
