šļø AI 3D eye scans
3D eye scans, commonly found in eye clinics, could potentially detect early signs of Parkinson's disease ā up to seven years before any noticeable symptoms emerge!
Key Points:
Advanced Tech: Eye data for health diagnosis isn't new, but advancements in ocular health tech and computing have widened the diagnostic range.
OCT Scans: Optical coherence tomography (OCT) produces highly detailed retina cross-sections. Itās non-intrusive and offers a unique window into the cell layers beneath the skin.
AI-Powered Analysis: UCL and Moorfields Eye Hospital researchers used AI to study OCT scans of over 220,000 individuals from two major databases.
Noteworthy Findings: Thinner layers in the retina, specifically the GCIPL and INL, have been linked with Parkinsonās development.
Future Possibilities: Early detection could lead to timely lifestyle adjustments and potentially delay the onset of severe neurodegenerative conditions.
