N euroimaging represents an essential information as a part of a comprehensive dementia evaluation. Though dementia is a clinical diagnosis, neuroimaging often is decisive for proper assessment. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) may identify non-degenerative and potentially treatable causes of dementia. This article focuses on the different modalities used for neuroimaging in dementia.
Neuroimaging has vividly changed to accurately diagnose dementia. Different neuroimaging methods facilitate diagnosis of most of the neurodegenerative conditions that show promise for diagnosis even in very early or pre-symptomatic phases. The diagnostic certainty is very high with some conditions and techniques that include Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) with diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) and AD with Pittsburgh Compound-B (PIB) PET. Neuroimaging in Dementia Notwithstanding…
