title: The role of conventional MR and CT in the work-up of dementia patients.
abstract: Neuroimaging can play an important role in distinguishing one form of dementia from another. Advanced imaging techniques continue to provide greater insight into the underlying pathologic processes in patients who have dementia. Conventional MRI and CT, however, can contribute useful information when interpreting radiologists are familiar with the patterns of volume loss and signal or density changes that are characteristic of various forms of dementia.
