Imaging and Biomarkers Workshop

Pre-Congress Program - Tuesday, 13 OctoberImaging and Biomarkers Workshop |
Imaging is increasingly being used by clinicians to enhance accuracy of diagnosis and to give important information regarding co-morbid pathologies which have an impact on management and prognosis. Imaging changes are increasingly entering clinical diagnostic criteria, and consensus clinical criteria for all main subtypes of dementia now include information about imaging changes. In addition, many clinical guidelines for dementia emphasize the need for informed, appropriate application of different imaging modalities in varying clinical situations.
In response to the increased prominence of neuroimaging within routine psychogeriatric and neurological clinical practice, IPA is again offering this updated workshop to help enable professionals working in psychogeriatrics to understand and be able to apply and interpret imaging information to create opportunities for improved diagnosis and care.

This program is supported by an educational grant from GE Healthcare
This extremely successful workshop has been presented at IPA meetings and conferences around the world nearly every year since its first appearance in Amsterdam in November 2007. In Berlin, the workshop has been updated to include the latest technological advances and will be presented by international experts in imaging.
We are also very pleased to announce that GE Healthcare will continue to serve as sponsor of the IPA Imaging and Biomarkers workshops and we thank them for their efforts to improve care through education.
