New Brain Scan Reveals Huntington’s Changes | Science News
Scientists have unveiled a groundbreaking brain scan technique called Sandi, which uses diffusion MRI to non-invasively measure cell density and size in living patients — offering a new way to detect Huntington’s disease before symptoms worsen. By analyzing water movement in the brain, Sandi revealed key cellular changes in the basal ganglia of 56 patients compared to 57 healthy controls, matching postmortem findings and correlating with disease severity. This could revolutionize treatment monitoring, but further longitudinal studies are needed to confirm its ability to track progression and…
