Abstract

With the ageing population, the prevalence of dementia is increasing worldwide. There is an emphasis on early, timely diagnosis and treatment options for people with a dementia yet wait times from referral to diagnosis have increased. Neuroimaging performed by radiologists is utilised to support dementia diagnosis and some patients will already have a CT scan from a pre-existing condition such as stroke. The purpose of this commentary is to consider whether ACPs who specialise in dementia, are perfectly placed to re-report on pre-existing neuroimages to support the clinical diagnosis of dementia.
