Brain imaging
Frontotemporal dementia predominantly affects two regions of the brain: the frontal and temporal lobes. Presence of progressive change to these brain structures is an important feature of the disease and helps towards an accurate diagnosis. At the POWMRI we have modern, high definition brain scan facilities available to measure structural changes in the brain.
Scanning is a non-invasive and harmless procedure and is generally well tolerated. In this project, we will study the extent and severity of changes taking place in the frontal and temporal lobes as the disease progresses. This project will contribute to our understanding of the progression of the disease and improve diagnostic accuracy.
