Structural and molecular imaging techniques can demonstrate the onset of neurodegenerative and dementing disorders years before the onset of symptoms. This session will discuss the structural MRI changes that occur with normal aging, how to differentiate normal from abnormal and which MR imaging sequences to use for diagnostic assessment in the memory clinic. The basics of PET imaging in neurodegeneration will be discussed, including how/which tracers can dissect the molecular pathology associated with neurodegenerative diseases. The role of imaging biomarkers in clinical routine as well as in trials for neurodegenerative diseases is being demonstrated. At the end of the course, the participants will better understand available imaging techniques and biomarkers in diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases.
