Dementia diagnostics
Dementia diagnostics focuses, among other things, on imaging-based assessment of structural and functional changes in the brain that may be associated with cognitive decline. As neurodegenerative diseases become increasingly common, reliable imaging is essential for differential diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of possible side effects of drug therapy. However, imaging alone cannot definitively determine whether a person has or will develop dementia; it can only identify changes that may indicate an increased risk or specific forms of dementia.
