Structural neuroimaging is a fundamental part of a routine dementia assessment to rule out treatable causes of cognitive impairment, and to support early, accurate dementia subtype diagnosis. Dr Rayment and colleagues discuss the different types of imaging and when they should be used, as well as analysing some typical imaging findings from common dementia subtypes.
