Brain-age biomarkers can be used to predict post-stroke recovery. Dr Martin Bretzner (Lille Neuroscience & Cognition Research Centre, Lille University Hospital, Lille, France) discusses the results of a study using radiomics, an emerging image-quantifying technology to assess ‘brain-age’ biomarkers. The study investigates how relative brain age, rather than chronological age, can enhance stroke surveillance and improve predictions on post-stroke recovery.
The abstract entitled “‘Brain-age’ biomarkers predict stroke recovery more accurately than chronological age, new study shows” was presented at the 8th European Stroke Organisation Conference, May 4-6, 2022.
