Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main study parameters entail blood flow-related measures such as cerebral blood flow, cerebral blood volume, etc., and other imaging-derived parameters. Non-imaging parameters include cognitive measures and other variables such as clinical information, sociodemographic factors, and lifestyle factors. Finally, the MR images will serve as input for the DCNN risk-detection model and will be augmented with the non-imaging parameters. | — |
