Synopsis

Keywords: Dementia, Aging, Remote NeuroimagingIn this study we sought to (1) Determine the feasibility of collecting remote MRI and cognitive data in adults and elderly individuals; and (2) Replicate previously reported population-based associations between regional brain volumes and cognitive performance with an established cognitive assessment, PAL. Overall, this initial report of at-home MRI shows that MRI data collection on a portable low-field MRI system at a participant's home is possible and offers time efficiency, convenience, and accessibility to participants who might otherwise not be able to participate.
