In a pilot study, retinal scans to measure blood vessel thickness at the back of the eye showed strong correlations with the level of beta-amyloid deposits in the brain, said Shaun Frost, a doctoral student in the e-Health Research Center operated by the Australian national research organization CSIRO.
