[Diagnosis of senile dementia using the method of computerized tomography]
Abstract:
The authors investigated the impact of single CT investigation of senile dementia patients. CT was assessed visually. Investigated were 214 patients (23 with senile dementia, 29 with Alzheimer disease, 14 with Pick disease, 90 with vasculogenic dementia, 58 with other forms of dementia). The overall high efficiency of CT was shown in diagnosis of senile dementia. Depending on peculiar clinico-morphological relations different patterns of CT contribution to dementia diagnosis are determined: its verification, detection of concomitant (clinically latent) pathology, establishment of an alternative diagnosis, reduction of the number of diagnostic hypotheses, correction of a diagnostic error.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...
Brain Imaging
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
