Hyperspectral Imaging, OCT Team to Detect Early Biomarkers of Alzheimer’s Disease
LEUVEN, Belgium, June 2, 2021 — A team of scientists and engineers from Katholieke Universiteit (KU) Leuven, Universitair Ziekenhuis (UZ) Leuven, and the research organization VITO, collaborating with the international research and development group imec, used imec’s hyperspectral snapshot camera, SNAPSCAN, to collect information from 16 spectral bands (460 to 620 nm, 10-nm bandwidth) in a single capture. The potential for retinal imaging to serve as a tool for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease is
