Scientists and researchers are set to examine hundreds of thousands of brain scans to build a software tool they hope will be able to predict a person’s risk of dementia.

A group of 20 experts will analyse data from CT and MRI scans using AI along with information contained in health records to find patterns that could indicate the likelihood of the condition developing.
