A team of mechanical engineers,neuroscientists, and computer scientists led by University of Rochester (Rochester,NY,USA; www.rochester.edu) has developed novel artificial intelligence-based velocimetry measurements to accurately measure the flow of brain fluid.

Any anomalies in this fluid movement are associated with various neurological conditions, such as Alzheimer’s, small vessel disease,strokes,and traumatic brain injuries.

However,measuring these fluid dynamics in vivo poses a significant challenge.

The new technique offers an innovative way to measure fluid circulation around the brain’s blood vessels, potentially paving the way for breakthrough treatments for conditions like Alzheimer’s.
