CORDEN – Comparing Visual and computer-based ratings of dementia-related neuroimaging findings. TÜBİTAK ARDEB 3501 Career Grant. 2011-2014

Purpose

This project is a collaborative effort between Bayındır Hospital İçerenköy and Bahçeşehir University that aims in

  • Computer-based measurement of dementia-related neuro-imaging findings from MR images acquired at routine clinical practice.
  • Investigation of the relationship between computer-based measurements and visual assessment by neurology-radiology experts.
