Project Title: Reversing dementia in patients with chronic subdural hematomas


Patients with dementia are at higher risk for bleeding in the brain. However, cognitive symptoms that result from dementia may disguise symptoms arising from a hemorrhage and result in lack of treatment. This project will implement a unique imaging solution with the capacity to identify chronic brain bleeds in dementia patients in the community setting.
