Brain scan validation study aims to sharpen neurological disease research

NCT ID NCT02455284

First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study aims to validate a special MRI technique called tractography, which maps the brain's white matter connections. Researchers will compare MRI scans from 134 older adults (aged 82+) with actual brain tissue samples after donation. The goal is to ensure this non-invasive imaging method accurately reflects brain structure, potentially improving diagnosis and monitoring of neurological diseases.
