MR Brain – Dementia Investigation with Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Targeted investigation for specific dementia issues. Specialized magnetic resonance imaging examination performed exclusively via Evidia. The purpose is to detect or rule out structural changes in the brain that can explain memory disorders, cognitive impairment or suspected dementia. The examination is an important part of the diagnostic process and is used as a complement to clinical assessment and neuropsychological tests.
Using high-resolution cross-sectional images, the radiologist can analyze the brain's volume, cortical structures, ventricular system and blood flow. Particular focus is on patterns of brain atrophy and vascular changes that are typical in, for example, Alzheimer's, frontotemporal dementia or vascular dementia. MRI can also rule out other causes of cognitive symptoms, such as tumors, cysts or old infarctions.
Only if dementia is suspected
A targeted MRI brain is indicated when a patient shows symptoms of memory impairment, orientation difficulties or other signs of cognitive impairment. The examination is painless, completely radiation-free and provides a detailed basis for decision-making before further investigation and treatment.
- Increasing memory problems.
- Difficulties with language, orientation or problem solving.
- Personality changes or behavioral disorders.
- Suspected Alzheimer's, frontotemporal dementia or vascular dementia.
- Investigation of cognitive impairment with unclear causes.
What does the dementia examination show?
- Atrophy in the hippocampus and temporal lobes - typical in Alzheimer's.
- Frontal lobe and temporal lobe atrophy - in frontotemporal dementia.
- White matter changes, small vessel disease or old infarctions - in vascular dementia.
- Hydrocephalus (abnormal fluid accumulation in the brain) which can cause dementia-like symptoms.
- Exclusion of differential diagnoses such as tumor, cyst or inflammatory processes.
