SOUTHAMPTON: Scientists have developed a new test that can diagnose different types of dementia in seconds using a laser.
According to British researchers, it can take up to two years to diagnose dementia, but this laser-based technique is cheaper than current tests and can provide results within seconds.
Experts from University Hospital Southampton (UHS) and the University of Southampton are conducting research that uses lasers to examine body material such as blood or spinal fluid to detect early stages of the disease. can be identified.
The average rate of Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis in the initial test was more than 93 percent, the researchers said.
UHS consultant neurologist Professor Chris Kipps said the new technique represents a breakthrough in medical technology and could revolutionize the way dementia is diagnosed.
He said that this innovation is not only a major breakthrough in healthcare quality, but it is a paradigm shift that will help in understanding nerve damage disease in a new way.
