Alzheimer's Disease: Overview01:26

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview

1.6K
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a continually advancing neurodegenerative disorder, distinguished by escalating memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, and dementia. The disease unfolds in three stages: preclinical, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. Its onset is insidious, and the progression gradual, with the cause not well explained by other disorders.
The clinical diagnosis of AD hinges on the presence of memory and other cognitive impairments. Biomarkers, such as changes in Aβ...

Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

251
DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

Imaging Studies IV: Magnetic Resonance Imaging

212
Introduction:Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, can include a specialized imaging technique of the urinary system known as Magnetic Resonance Urography (MRU). This radiation-free technique uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images with the help of a computer. MRU is particularly effective for visualizing fluid-filled structures like the kidneys, ureters, and bladder.Applications of MRI in the Genitourinary SystemKidneys and Ureters: MRI detects tumors, cysts,...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Neurology
  • Global Health

Background:

  • Dementia burden is increasing in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with a growing aging population.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is crucial for diagnosing dementia subtypes but access and trained personnel are limited in LMICs.
  • The Scan With Me (SWiM) program addresses this gap by upskilling MRI radiographers in LMICs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To update on the SWiM training program's progress in enhancing MRI acquisition for dementia diagnosis in LMICs.
  • To improve the quality of dementia-specific MRI scans using limited infrastructure.
  • To foster a network of trained radiographers for improved diagnostic capabilities.

Main Methods:

  • SWiM is a free, train-the-trainer initiative by CAMERA, using RAD-AID's Teach-Try-Use strategy.
  • The program combines virtual learning, expert lectures, and hands-on sessions over 8 weeks.
  • Participants developed and optimized dementia imaging protocols based on standards like ADNI for their local scanners.

Main Results:

  • The second SWiM program trained 96 radiographers from 18 LMIC countries across 29 facilities.
  • Specialized training focused on dementia imaging, including hands-on sessions in Kenya and Nigeria.
  • Optimized MRI protocols for dementia imaging were developed and will be shared openly.

Conclusions:

  • SWiM establishes a collaborative network to improve dementia diagnosis in LMICs.
  • The program enables the collection of robust datasets for clinical care and development of imaging tools.
  • Enhanced MRI expertise supports advancements in dementia prevention and treatment strategies.
