Gain confidence in applying visual rating scales for dementia. Understand the value of molecular imaging in dementia diagnosis. Neuroradiological evaluation in patients with epilepsy
13:10-13:50	N. Bargallo, Barcelona/ES Learn the epilepsy clinical scenarios and when to perform neuroimaging evaluation. To know the imaging protocols to evaluate patients with epilepsy. To understand the imaging tools used to evaluate patients with epilepsy.
13:50-14:30	Neuroimaging in multiple sclerosis E. Papadaki, Crete/GR To understand the imaging-pathologic correlation of MS lesions. To be knowledgeable about the diagnostic criteria of MS and the diagnostic role of conventional MRI techniques. To become familiar with the application of non-conventional MR techniques in MS.
14:30-15:00	Q&A
15:00-15:30	BREAK
15:30-16:10	Imaging finding in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. N. Bargallo, Barcelona/ES To review the MR protocol in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. To know the most common radiological findings in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. To review what is next when the MR in a drug-resistant epilepsy is negative.
16:10-16:50	Neuroimaging in non-MS idiopathic inflammatory demyelinating disorders E. Papadaki, Crete/GR To become familiar with the non-MS idiopathic inflammatory demyelinating disorders of the CNS. To learn the imaging patterns of ADEM, NMOSD and MOG-AD and todifferentiate them from MS. To differentiate between idiopathic inflammatory demyelinating disorders and other white matter diseases.
16:50-17:30	Differential diagnosis of dementing disorders F. Barkhof, Amsterdam/NL Know the atrophy patterns in Alzheimer's disease and its differential diagnosis. Understand the relevance of vascular pathology in ageing and dementia. Appreciate the ATN framework for the work-up of suspected dementia cases.
