Will your doctor be using a test like this to identify your 33% chance of getting dementia post-stroke early while something can still be done about it?
Does your doctor have anything better than my ideas with research to back them up?
My complete list here:

A new type of brain scan which can detect the toxins which cause
Alzheimer’s disease has been developed by scientists at Northwestern
University.
The test, which uses nanotechnology, identifies the early signs of
dementia and could be used to both monitor and combat the disease.
The areas of the brain which contain the amyloid beta toxins are seen on the brain scan as large dark patches.
The new test is a breakthrough because previously it was only
possible to detect the amyloid plaques — once these have developed it is
probably too late for any effective therapy.

Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 33,972 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
What this blog is for:
My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

New Non-Invasive Method Can Detect Alzheimer’s Disease Early
If this truly pans out you will need to ask your doctor for specific dementia amelioration protocols. In fact you better ask right now because they need to be created and I bet that will take years. In the meantime I'll be hoping my list will help me out.

Do not follow my ideas, they are not vetted by any medical team.

No methods currently exist for the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease, which affects one out of nine people over the age of 65. Now, an interdisciplinary team of Northwestern University scientists and engineers has developed a noninvasive MRI approach that can detect the disease in a living animal. And it can do so at the earliest stages of the disease, well before typical Alzheimer’s symptoms appear.
Led by neuroscientist William L. Klein and materials scientist Vinayak P. Dravid, the research team developed an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) probe that pairs a magnetic nanostructure (MNS) with an antibody that seeks out the amyloid beta brain toxins responsible for onset of the disease. The accumulated toxins, because of the associated magnetic nanostructures, show up as dark areas in MRI scans of the brain.
This ability to detect the molecular toxins may one day enable scientists to both spot trouble early and better design drugs or therapies to combat and monitor the disease. And, while not the focus of the study, early evidence suggests the MRI probe improves memory, too, by binding to the toxins to render them “handcuffed” to do further damage.

Rumor mill: Apple wants to use sensors to detect heart attacks
I was just thinking, dangerous I know, there is a device that looks at eye-tracking to determine if you've had a concussion
Why not set up Google Glass with that technology and expand it to detect strokes?

Apple is looking to expand into new product categories, but just what those categories may be is currently a mystery. However, according to a report from the San Francisco Chronicle,
the answer might end up being very surprising — the paper claims that
Apple is looking to expand into both medical devices and cars.
A device that listens to your blood
The report is light on details, but the Chronicle claims that Apple is particularly interested in medicine, and is working with audio engineer Tomlinson Holman
to develop a device that could predict heart attacks by listening to
the sound of your blood. Holman is known for developing several notable
audio technologies, including Lucasfilm's THX system and the first 10.2
sound system. This isn't the first we've heard of Apple's interest in
medicine — last month some of Apple's top executives reportedly met with
the US Food and Drug Administration to discuss the potential for "mobile medical applications."
