When people receive a sudden dementia diagnosed and experience cognizant decline immediately there may be concerns over mental capacity and appropriate estate planning goals.
The study look at the Alzheimer’s imaging initiative database located at University Southern California Los Angeles.

The artificial intelligence may be able to detect mild cognitive impairment up to 84% of the time.
