Dementia is a debilitating disease that has touched many of our lives. In 2018, an estimated 9.1 Million people were living with dementia in EU member states with this number expected to rise by about 60% over the next two decades to reach 14.3 million in 2040.1
In this webinar we discuss the role of MR imaging in dementia and how emerging AI technologies can support differential diagnosis and provide invaluable information for disease management.
With new disease modifying treatments on the horizon this could bring significant improvements in quality of life for patients and their families alike.
