Alzheimer disease is a common neurodegenerative disease, responsible for 60-80% of all dementias, and imposing a significant burden on developed nations. It is associated with an accumulation and deposition of cerebral amyloid-β (Aβ) and is the most common cerebral amyloid deposition disease.

The Alzheimer Disease Neuroimaging Institute (http://adni.loni.ucla.edu) collaboration is collecting a large dataset of imaging and other biomarkers of AD progression, including structural MR imaging, FDG-PET, PIB PET, CSF, and clinical findings.
This article addresses clinical, pathologic, MR imaging, and PET findings, including new techniques, to educate the readership. Major differentiating MR imaging and PET and pathologic facts are summarized (Online Supplemental Data) to assist with greater understanding.
Three relevant points are important for the radiologic assessment of dementia. First, besides various dementing disorders (including AD, frontotemporal dementia, and dementia with Lewy bodies), clinical variants and imaging subtypes of AD include both typical and atypical AD.
Structural imaging can support the clinical diagnosis of dementia and mild cognitive impairment, and many trials are investigating its value as a marker for disease progression and as outcome measures for disease-modifying treatments .
It is estimated that more than 16 million Ameri-cans provide unpaid care to individuals with dementias, amounting to over 18 billion hours per year [1]. Such caregivers (typically family members) often accompany individuals with dementia to the radiology department.
