Dementia Imaging: Scoring and structured reporting with a clinically relevant conclusion
Visual scoring and structured reporting help produce clinically relevant CT and MRI conclusions in dementia assessment.

Description
Normal ageing and imaging patterns of Alzheimer's and frontotemporal dementia lead into global cortical, medial temporal, ventricular, and vascular scoring systems. These findings are integrated with normal-pressure hydrocephalus assessment to build a structured report and clinically useful conclusion.
Learning Objectives
- Recognise major imaging patterns of Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, and normal ageing.
- Apply visual scales for cortical and medial temporal atrophy, ventricular size, and vascular disease.
- Produce a structured dementia report with a clear, clinically relevant conclusion.
- Evaluate normal-pressure hydrocephalus using ventricular measurements and associated imaging features.
- Distinguish normal ageing from pathological regional and global atrophy.
