• To identify the main imaging findings of Alzheimer's disease and to learn the methods used to assess the volumetric reduction of the hippocampi;
• To identify the main imaging findings that can enable the differential diagnosis of atypical parkinsonian syndromes;
• Recognize signs that allow the diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus to be inferred;
• Identify the main imaging findings that can enable the differential diagnosis of toxic and metabolic encephalopathies;
• Recognize how and when the pet can be used in the evaluation of neurodegenerative diseases.

The course will take a practical approach through the live discussion of clinical cases, tutored by experts in the field.

Nine pre-lectures will be available on the CBR platform, which should be watched before the course in order to get the most out of the case discussions.

After this course, participants should be able to identify the imaging findings of the (s):

• The main neurodegenerative diseases;
•   Acute parkinsonian syndromes;
•  Normal pressure hydrocephalus;
• Toxic and metabolic encephalopathies;

They will also learn about the indications and imaging findings of the pet in the evaluation of neurodegenerative diseases.
