This review covers how brain imaging techniques like positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and MR imaging aid in diagnosing dementia and predicting risk.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Neurology
  • Medical Diagnostics

Background:

  • Dementia diagnosis and prediction remain challenging clinical problems.
  • Advanced neuroimaging techniques offer potential solutions for early detection and differential diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical utility of positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and MR imaging in dementia.
  • To assess their role in differential diagnosis and risk prediction for dementia.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current data on PET, SPECT, and MR imaging in dementia studies.
  • Analysis of clinical applications for differential diagnosis and risk stratification.

Main Results:
