Abstract
Dementia is defined as chronic deterioration of intellectual function and cognitive skills significant enough to interfere with the ability to perform daily activities. Recent advances in the treatment of dementia have renewed interest in the use of various neuroimaging techniques that can assist in the diagnosis and differentiation of various subtypes. Neuroimaging and computational techniques have helped the radiological community to monitor disease progression of various neurodegenerative conditions presenting with dementia, such as Alzheimer disease, frontotemporal lobe dementia (FTLD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and multisystem atrophy-cerebellar variant (MSA-C), and their response to newer therapies. Prompt identification of treatable or reversible forms of dementia, such as tumours, subdural haemorrhage and intracranial dAVF, is crucial for the effective management of these conditions. It is also prudent to recognize the imaging spectrum of metabolic, infective and autoimmune diseases with rapidly progressing dementia, such as methanol toxicity, central pontine myelinolysis (CPM), delayed post hypoxic leukoencephalopathy (DPHL), HIV, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), Sjogren's syndrome, multiple sclerosis (MS), radiation necrosis and Fragile X-Associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS), which are difficult to treat and often require palliative care. This pictorial review emphasizes various non-Alzheimer’s dementia entities and discusses their imaging highlights.

Recent advances in the treatment of dementia have renewed interest in the use of various neuroimaging techniques that can assist in the diagnosis and differentiation of various subtypes. Neuroimaging and computational techniques have helped the radiological community to monitor disease progression of various neurodegenerative conditions presenting with dementia, such as Alzheimer disease, frontotemporal lobe dementia (FTLD), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and multisystem atrophy-cerebellar variant (MSA-C), and their response to newer therapies. Prompt identification of treatable or reversible forms of dementia, such as tumours, subdural haemorrhage and intracranial dAVF, is crucial for the effective management of these conditions. It is also prudent to recognize the imaging spectrum of metabolic, infective and autoimmune diseases with rapidly progressing dementia, such as methanol toxicity, central pontine myelinolysis (CPM), delayed post hypoxic leukoencephalopathy (DPHL), HIV, Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD), Sjogren's syndrome, multiple sclerosis (MS), radiation necrosis and Fragile X-Associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome (FXTAS), which are difficult to treat and often require palliative care.

Various studies have confirmed an exponential increase in dementia with age and a higher prevalence in older females [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR1">1</xref>]. Overall, dementia has a significant burdening impact onsocio-economic status and the health care system.</p><p>Alzheimer disease (AD) is the most common cause of primary dementia, constituting 60 % of all cases. Vascular dementia is the second most common form of dementia, which often coexists with AD. There are various other non-Alzheimer conditions, which may present with cognitive impairments and can be divided into the broad categories of neurodegenerative, inflammatory/infective, metabolic/genetic and miscellaneous. This pictorial review emphasizes the role of neuroimaging in evaluating various causes of non-Alzheimer’s dementia. We also highlight conditions with reversible dementia, where neuroimaging plays a significant role in management.</p><sec id="Sec2"><title>Vascular dementia (VaD)</title><p>Binswanger and Alzheimer first described VaD and recognized the role of multiple infarctions and chronic ischemia in its etiopathogenesis. VaD is the most common cause of non-Alzheimer dementia in the aging population and often contributes to cognitive impairment in AD and other forms of so-called “mixed dementias” [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>]. Unlike AD, there are no pathological criteria for the diagnosis of VaD. The clinical criteria are poorly understood and validated. It’s a heterogeneous syndrome rather than a distinct disorder, in which the underlying cause is cerebrovascular disease in some form and its ultimate manifestation is dementia [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>]. Three common forms of ischemic lesions can result in VaD: 1) Large artery infarcts involving the cortex and subcortical regions due to thromboembolic occlusion of major intracranial arteries; 2) Small artery infarctions or lacunes attributed to arteriolosclerosis involving the penetrating arteries and affecting the thalamus, basal ganglia, internal capsule, brain stem and cerebellum; 3) Periventricular white matter disease resulting from chronic subcortical ischemia of small arteries affecting the neurons, oligodedrocytes and astrocytes. Multiple studies have shown that in nearly 6 to 32 % of cases with lobar and lacunar ischemic stroke, one can show post stroke cognitive impairment and dementia [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>]. The presence of microbleeds, a manifestation of small vessel disease, is also associated with cognitive decline. The number of infarcts and anatomic distribution of ischemic stroke, rather than the volume, determines the development of VaD. The more vulnerable areas are the hippocampus, angular gyrus, cingulate gyrus, frontal lobe or deep gray and white matter (thalamus, fornix, basal forebrain, caudate, globus pallidus, and the genu or anterior limb of the internal capsule) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>]. Advanced age, increased severity of the stroke, recurrent strokes, white matter disease, cortical atrophy (particularly in the temporal lobe), hypertension, obesity, elevated homocysteine, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus are the common associated risk factors [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>]. The clinical presentation varies depending on cortical or subcortical ischemic lesions. Cortical lesions tend to be sudden onset with more focal neurodeficits, whereas subcortical lacunar infarcts and white matter disease have more gradual or stepwise decline of cognitive functions.</p><p>The diagnostic approach to patients with suspected VaD is similar to that of any other form of cognitive decline. Neuroimaging should be performed where there is history of stroke, vascular risk factors and clinical features atypical of AD. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considerably superior in sensitivity and specificity in detecting ischemic lesions compared to computed tomography (CT); however, radiological criteria are not adequate enough in differentiating between post-stroke patients with and without dementia [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>]. Microangiopathic disease is the condition most commonly associated with vascular dementia and has non-specific imaging features. Confluent hypodensities in the periventricular and subcortical white matter (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>) with presence of cortical and lacunar infarcts are seen on CT. Likewise, MRI demonstrates confluent signal changes in the periventricular and subcortical white matter, deep grey nuclei and brain stem (Fig. <xref rid="Fig1" ref-type="fig">1</xref>). Increasing white matter lesion burden on serial MRI scans has been associated with accelerated cognitive decline in several studies [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>]. Acute infarcts typically demonstrate T2W/FLAIR hyperintensity with diffusion restriction, whereas chronic infarcts exhibit volume loss with facilitated diffusion. GRE/SWI (Gradient Echo/Susceptibility Weighted Imaging) images are very sensitive in detecting microhaemorrhages noted in microangiopathic disease and other vascular conditions such as CADASIL (Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy), central nervous system (CNS) vasculitis and amyloid angiopathy. In summary, there are no uniform diagnostic criteria; however, a combination of clinical and neuropsychological assessment with neuroimaging inputs may help in the diagnosis and management of patients with VaD.<fig id="Fig1"><label>Fig. 1</label><caption><p>Vascular dementia.

It affects the younger population, beginning in the fourth to fifth decade, and commonly presents with recurrent transient ischemic attacks, strokes, migraine and cognitive decline [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>]. The etiopathogenesis is characteristic vasculopathy of small and medium size arteries. MRI is the most useful neuroimaging technique to demonstrate radiological picture of CADASIL. Symmetric and confluent T2W/FLAIR hyperintensities in periventricular and subcortical white matter are commonly demonstrated in CADASIL. Anterior temporal lobe white matter involvement is noted in nearly 90 % of cases and uncommon in other microvascular diseases. Corpus callosum and insular T2W hyperintensities are also characteristic findings. DWI and GRE/SWI sequences are basically helpful in demonstrating occasional areas of associated acute infarcts and microhaemorrhages (Fig. <xref rid="Fig2" ref-type="fig">2</xref>) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>]. Brain atrophy is another important feature of CADASIL, likely resulting from subcortical ischemia and strongly correlated with cognitive decline.<fig id="Fig2"><label>Fig. 2</label><caption><p>CADASIL.

The mechanism of dementia can be explained by direct brain compression, reduction in whole brain cerebral blood flow (CBF) and generalized astrocyte reactivity. Approximately 45 % of patients with chronic SDH can have amnesia and cognitive deficits. This is considered to be one of the treatable forms of dementia and reversible upon surgical evacuation. On CT, chronic SDH often appears as a hypodense concavo-convex collection. On T1W and FLAIR MRI, it appears minimally hyperintense in comparison to CSF due to low paramagnetic methemoglobin and high protein content (Fig. <xref rid="Fig3" ref-type="fig">3</xref>). Membranes with loculations and varying stages of blood products should raise the suspicion of recurrent haemorrhage [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR11">11</xref>].<fig id="Fig3"><label>Fig. 3</label><caption><p>Chronic subdural hematoma (SDH).

Cognitive dysfunction is the frequent initial presentation of DLB, with dementia eventually occurring in all cases. Unlike Alzheimer disease (AD), the patients with DLB often present with early impairments in attention, executive and visuospatial function, with memory affected later in the course of the disease [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>]. Other clinical manifestations are visual hallucinations, dysautonomia, parkinsonism, sleep disorders, and neuroleptic sensitivity. Radiologic features are not specific, but may be supportive in the diagnosis of DLB. Generalized brain atrophy may be noticed on MRI, similar to other neurodegenerative dementia. Few studies have shown atrophy of the putamen and dorsal mesopontine gray matter in DLB compared with AD on volumetric MRI scans [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>]. As per one study, there can be reduced fractional anisotropy in the parieto-occipital white matter tracts on diffusion tensor imaging in DLB, but not in AD [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>]. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans may show decreased perfusion and metabolism in the occipital areas [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>]. The common differential diagnoses for DLB are Alzheimer disease (AD), Parkinson disease (PD), vascular dementia, other neurodegenerative dementias, and certain psychiatric disease. The diagnosis of DLB is primarily based on the clinical presentations, with radiologic features serving as helpful tool.</p></sec><sec id="Sec8"><title>Dementia in Parkinson disease (PD)</title><p>Dementia is common and typically appears late in Parkinson disease (PD). Milder cognitive impairment represented by executive dysfunction and impaired visuospatial function is usually noted early in the disease [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR16">16</xref>]. Other associated clinical features are visual hallucinations, bradykinesia, rigidity and resting tremor. There are no specific imaging features for Parkinson disease with dementia; however, one of the recent neuroimaging studies has described the high accuracy of diagnosing PD by demonstrating absence of normal hyperintensity in the nigrosome-1 of the dorsolateral substantia nigra (Swallow Tail sign) on Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI) MR sequence [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR17">17</xref>]. The most common differential diagnosis is Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). In PD, dementia generally occurs in the setting of well-established parkinsonism, whereas in DLB, dementia usually appears along with or before the development of parkinsonian signs. Quantitative morphometric MRI study can help in differentiating both entities with evidence of more pronounced cortical atrophy in DLB compared to PD. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR18">18</xref>] Other differential diagnoses include progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal degeneration, Alzheimer disease and vascular dementia.</p></sec><sec id="Sec9"><title>Multiple system atrophy- cerebellar type (MSA-C)</title><p>MSA-C was formerly called olivopontocerebellar degeneration, with onset at a mean age of 56 to 60 years. It is a sporadic disease with a combination of Parkinsonism symptoms, autonomic failure and cerebellar ataxia. Dementia is uncommon and of the frontal type, but is found in a minority of patients [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>]. There is neuronal cell loss and gliosis in inferior olivary and pontine nuclei, cerebellar hemispheres and vermis. Common MR imaging features are selective atrophy of pons, middle cerebellar peduncles, cerebellar hemispheres and inferior olives (Fig. <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4</xref>). An abnormal hyperintense signal that results from the degeneration of the transverse pontine fibres and pontine raphe gives the appearance of a “Hot Cross Bun” sign on T2W/FLAIR images (Fig. <xref rid="Fig4" ref-type="fig">4b</xref>) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR20">20</xref>]. Although a non-specific finding, it has also been observed in variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, spinocerebellar atrophy types 2 and 3 and in parkinsonism secondary to vasculitis.<fig id="Fig4"><label>Fig. 4</label><caption><p>Multisystem atrophy-cerebellar variant (MSA-C).

[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref>] Like FTLD, PSP is also related to abnormal tau protein deposition. Midbrain and superior cerebellar peduncle atrophy are classic neuroimaging features. Loss of normal superior midbrain tegmentum convexity with a relatively preserved pons on T1W mid-sagittal images gives the “hummingbird or penguin” beak appearance (Fig. <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5a</xref>). Atrophy of superior cerebellar peduncles strongly correlates with disease duration. Reduced anteroposterior midbrain diameter at the level of superior colliculus gives the “Mickey Mouse” appearance on axial images (Fig. <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5c</xref>) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>]. Axial images may also show abnormal concavity of the lateral tegmental margin, giving the impression of a “morning glory” flower (Fig. <xref rid="Fig5" ref-type="fig">5b</xref>) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>]. A number of studies have used quantitative measurements to establish the specificity of atrophy pattern noted in PSP, and tried to differentiate from idiopathic parkinson's disease or MSA-P [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">24</xref>]. The anterior-posterior diameter and average area of the midbrain were found to be significantly lower in patients with PSP (56 mm<sup>2</sup>) compared to idiopathic Parkinson disease (103 mm<sup>2</sup>) or multiple system atrophy-parkinsonism (MSA-P) (97 mm<sup>2</sup>) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">25</xref>]. Similarly, PSP has shown a significantly higher ratio of the mid-sagittal pons to midbrain area compared with matched controls, multiple system atrophy or Parkinson disease. Few studies have suggested that magnetic resonance-parkinsonism index (MRPI) can be used to distinguish PSP from Parkinson disease and atypical parkinsonian syndrome [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>]. It is an index calculated from the formula (P/M) × (MCP/SCP), which requires measurement of the area of the pons (P) and midbrain (M) and width of the middle cerebellar peduncle (MCP) on sagittal T1-weighted MRI and the width of the superior cerebellar peduncle (SCP) on coronal MRI.<fig id="Fig5"><label>Fig. 5</label><caption><p>Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP).

Clinically it comprises three subtypes: behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), semantic dementia (SD) and nonfluent aphasia. The bvFTD is characterized by marked personality changes and behavioural problems, the most aggressive subtype with earliest average age of onset (fifth to sixth decade) and male preponderance [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">27</xref>]. SD or the temporal variant is also known as the least aggressive variant, and typically presents with either word finding difficulty or prosopagnosia (inability to recognize faces), depending on the predominant temporal lobe predilection [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR28">28</xref>]. Patients with non-fluent aphasia generally present with speech apraxia [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR29">29</xref>]. The characteristic neuropathological finding in FTLD is tau proteinopathy, as in AD. Neuroimaging is non-specific in the early phase of disease with overlap among subtypes, and is used primarily to exclude other forms of dementia. With clinical progression, FTLD subtypes frequently show specific patterns of focal cortical atrophy with the classic “knife edge” appearance involving frontal and/or temporal lobes. In the bvFTD subtype, bifrontal atrophy is the most common finding, which usually progresses to involve the temporal lobes at a later stage of the disease [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR30">30</xref>]. Behavioural changes are usually attributed to predominant involvement of the right frontal lobe (Fig. <xref rid="Fig6" ref-type="fig">6</xref>). The SD variant has predominant anterior temporal lobe atrophy and is more frequently marked on the left side, unlike AD, in which the temporal lobe involvement tends to be symmetric with no antero-posterior gradient. Prominent atrophy of the left perisylvian region is characteristic of non-fluent aphasia [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR31">31</xref>]. Additionally, molecular imaging with either FDG-PET or rCBF (relative Cerebral Blood Flow) SPECT and quantitative analysis using 3D T1 MRI have shown good specificity in differentiating FTLD and AD based on identification of asymmetric and predominantly anterior versus posterior pattern of hypometabolism/perfusion and atrophy.<fig id="Fig6"><label>Fig. 6</label><caption><p>Behavioural variant Frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD).

Cognitive deficits are inevitable in HD and common clinical manifestations are executive dysfunction, lack of insight and slowed processing. Caudate atrophy is the typical neuroimaging finding on axial MRI images (Fig. <xref rid="Fig7" ref-type="fig">7</xref>), and changes in linear caudate measurements correlate with severity of cognitive dysfunction [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">33</xref>]. Abnormal metabolic changes can also be noted on positron-emission tomography (PET) and functional MRI [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">34</xref>].

It commonly presents in the fifth to seventh decade of life with a triad of subacute dementia, myoclonus and characteristic triphasic EEG pattern. Elevated tau and/or 14-3-3 protein is seen on CSF analysis. MRI is the most suitable neuroimaging technique in the diagnosis of CJD, with T2W, FLAIR and DWI sequences being the most essential sequences of the MRI protocol. The key MRI features in CJD are T2W/FLAIR hyperintensity in the caudate, putamen, anterior cingulate gyrus and thalamus. Widespread involvement of the cerebral cortex is also a characteristic feature [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref>].

Often there is considerable clinical overlap, and neuroimaging features tend to be non-specific during the initial stage of disease. The rationale of conventional neuroimaging is not to offer definitive diagnoses, but to suggest possible differential diagnoses and track evolving changes on follow-up studies. Newer molecular imaging bio-markers combined with conventional neuroimaging techniques hold promise in assessing applications of novel disease-modifying drugs for treatment and response evaluation. An important aspect of neuroimaging is also to recognize reversible or treatable causes of dementia that can potentially be treated or halt further disease progression.</p></sec></body><back><ack><sec id="FPar1"><title>Information on grants</title><p>No grant or financial assistance were received from any source.
