Dr Richard Dobrashian, Consultant Radiologist, East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust
This lecture will show how to review MRI and CT scans of the brain to ascertain if a dementia is present radiologically and if so what subtype of dementia it is and what contribution vascular changes may have. It is a pictorial lecture showing the memory areas of the brain and how dementia, in particular Alzheimer's disease affects these areas and how with specific focus routine imaging can assist in the diagnosis of dementia. It will discuss the visual rating scales for atrophy in these memory areas and how to incorporate these into the radiology review including pitfalls. This is aimed at general radiologists and trainees rather than specialist neuroradiologists.
