Accredited (Credits: 1)
Free
58min
Audio: English
Subtitles: German +6

Synopsis

Join experts Tanyaluck Thientunyakit and Hiroshi Matsuda as they guide you through the evolving role of neuroimaging in the early detection and management of Alzheimer’s disease, with a focus on the Asian context. You’ll gain practical insights into the use of amyloid PET, tau PET, FDG PET, and MRI; exploring how both visual and quantitative interpretation methods can enhance diagnostic accuracy. With a strong focus on the realities in Asia, they address the shared regional challenges such as limited tracer access and infrastructure gaps and showcase how tailored diagnostic workflows, interdisciplinary collaboration, and sustainable service models can help you advance neuroimaging capabilities despite resource constraints.

Objectives

  • Discuss the role of current and emerging PET biomarkers, including their strengths and weaknesses, in achieving a timely and accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease
  • Integrate best practice for the selection, interpretation, and reporting of PET biomarkers in the context of your local clinical practice
  • Incorporate optimal communication and reporting methods to enhance interdisciplinary working and patient relationships
