Non-invasive in vivo hyperspectral imaging of the retina for potential biomarker use in Alzheimer’s disease
The use of PET for detection of Aβ in the brain in AD has limitations; studies also indicate that retinal changes, including Aβ deposition, occur in AD. Here the authors demonstrate the potential to use in vivo retinal hyperspectral imaging as a surrogate for brain accumulation of Aβ.
