Automated detection of amyloid plaques and microbleeds
visualised using MRI phase image and susceptibility
weighted imaging (SWI) acquired using an ultra-high
field magnet will be demonstrated. We hypothesised that
the phase shifts between amyloid plaques and microbleeds
are significantly distinct, and therefore fine-tuning
the weighting of the phase map for creating SWI could
help distinguishing microbleeds from plaques. The
validity of this methodology will be assessed using a
fixed brain from an APP23 mouse model of Alzheimers
Dementia.
