Abstract:   (8204 Views)
Background: Dementia is currently one of the most common diseases of old age. Due to increase of life expectancy and age, the prevalence of the disease had increased. The use of new technology in the early detection of diseases has always been considered by medical experts. On the other hand structural imaging (CT scan and MRI) show changes in brain that recognizing and paying attention to them helps to earlier and better diagnosis. It is obvious that trying to be more understanding of the disease and its symptoms and starting the treat as soon as possible can be effective in promoting community health.
Methods: With referring to databases PUBMED, MEDLINE and other authoritative, relevant articles and new articles were searched and then evaluated. Information collected and presented.
Conclusion: Although the role of imaging in the diagnosis of dementia is not fundamental, but many changes occur in brain of patients with dementia can be detected in imaging. Some of these lesions, are created even before clinical symptoms; their detection in early diagnosis of disease can be helpful.
Keywords: Dementia, CT Scan, MRI
