PreciseDx touts AI software for early detection of Parkinson's
PreciseDx's AI morphology feature array was used for the immunohistochemical detection of α-synuclein within peripheral nerves of salivary glands. The algorithm also used quantitative feature extraction based on morphology features to accurately distinguish Lewy-type synucleinopathy in early-stage Parkinson's disease biopsy specimens, according to the study, which was recently published in Acta Neuropathologica Communications.
