Neurodegenerative Disorders Imaging

Training Overview

Neurodegenerative Disorders Imaging Training is an intensive, simulation-based educational program designed for neuroradiologists, neurologists, and imaging scientists focusing on the evaluation and monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases. This two-day course provides a comprehensive understanding of structural and functional brain imaging, quantitative biomarkers, and multimodal imaging integration in dementia and movement disorders.

The program begins with detailed sessions on the neurobiology and imaging correlates of neurodegenerative processes, including cortical atrophy, white matter changes, and synaptic dysfunction. Participants gain practical experience in analyzing MRI, PET, and hybrid imaging datasets using advanced simulation platforms that replicate real clinical workflows.

Through hands-on simulations and interactive case-based discussions, attendees practice volumetric analysis, cortical thickness mapping, and PET tracer quantification (FDG, amyloid, tau) to identify disease-specific patterns. Dedicated workshops guide participants through data co-registration, motion correction, and longitudinal progression tracking using AI-assisted tools.

Simulation exercises with anonymized patient datasets enable participants to differentiate between normal aging, mild cognitive impairment, and established neurodegenerative disease. Faculty experts provide mentorship on integrating quantitative imaging biomarkers into clinical decision-making, therapeutic monitoring, and research applications.

By the end of the course, participants will have acquired the technical and analytical expertise to perform standardized, reproducible neuroimaging assessments for the diagnosis and follow-up of neurodegenerative disorders.
