Funded Activity Summary

Information Technology Aided Diagnosis of Dementia with PET-CT Imaging. Dementia is a significant health problem and approximately 162,000 Australians currently suffer from this disease, with costs estimated at $6 billion annually in Australia and a profound effect on the lives of carers and family members. With the ageing of the Australian population, the patient number is expected to rise to 500,000 by 2040.This research will apply innovative IT approaches to develop computer assisted diagnosis of early dementia, when treatment is possible, from combined functional and anatomical imaging modalities (PET-CT). This will not only add considerable value to Australia's medical imaging infrastructure and smart use of information, but will ultimately also deliver substantial benefits to our nation and community.
