Neuroimaging in dementia
Neuroimaging of dementia distinguishes normal ageing and treatable mimics from major neurodegenerative patterns.

Description
Dementia imaging protocols are considered alongside normal involution, visual atrophy scales, and small-vessel disease criteria. Alzheimer's disease, early-onset dementia, movement-disorder markers, and features that refine the differential diagnosis or reveal potentially treatable causes are covered.
Learning Objectives
- Apply a suitable CT or MRI protocol and visual scoring approach in suspected dementia.
- Distinguish normal ageing and small-vessel disease from major neurodegenerative patterns.
- Recognise Alzheimer's disease, early-onset disorders, movement-related markers, and treatable mimics.
- Use regional atrophy and movement-disorder markers to refine the differential diagnosis.
