2011 Neuroimaging in Dementia Webinar Series
Many clinical guidelines for dementia now emphasize the need for informed and appropriate application of different imaging modalities in varying care situations. The webinars held in April and May 2011 focused on imaging techniques that have real clinical utility and will present how best to implement the main neuroimaging techniques in your practice. Recently, IPA broadcast a three-part series of webinars focused on imaging techniques that have real clinical utility.
