Conclusion

Knowledge of the different patterns of brain atrophy according to the clinical presentation and the neuroimaging strategies available in a dementia clinical setting, including MRI rating scales, will help in making an accurate diagnosis and hence a proper patient management. We encourage radiologists to use them.Fig. 24,Fig. 25,Fig. 26
