This educational session will discuss how in current clinical practice imaging modalities such as MRI and molecular imaging techniques can be used to support an aetiologic diagnosis of dementia. This session will give general radiologists and those interested in neuroradiology and nuclear medicine/molecular imaging the knowledge needed for appropriate selection and structured assessment of imaging exams in diagnostic work-up of dementia. The session format consists of in part lectures, followed by an interactive case-based discussion.
