This diagnostic imaging course covers CT and MRI of the brain in dementia disorders covering both basic and early advanced knowledge. We will discuss imaging findings with a lecture, followed by individual case reading with a subsequent group discussion.
This neuroimaging in dementia short-term fellowship is designed for radiologists who would like to become more confident when reporting CT and MRI of the brain in dementia.
The course includes an overview of the classification of dementia disorders, diagnostic findings on CT and MRI and training to provide a structured report with a clinically relevant conclusion.
Each session will start with a lecture. After the lecture you will be challenged with practicing on real-life anonymised key cases from the TMC Academy teaching file. Reporting templates including recognized standardized rating scales will be used to help write adequate reports.
The individual case readings will be followed by mentor's interpretations, questions and comments, along with a group discussion.
TMC Academy fellowships are held in a virtual classroom environment on Zoom. Participants are encouraged to engage in discussions making use of their camera and microphone in order to recreate the face-to-face experience.
In this small group environment among your peers, you are free to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn together with the support of the radiologist mentor.
This fellowship is organised by TMC Academy, an EACCME Trusted Provider.
Testimonials:
"Professor Elna-Marie Larsson is a great lecturer and demonstrated how to apply dementia scoring systems in practice. I am glad that the fellowship involved individual review of the cases prior to discussion, and definitely improving scoring of all the attendees over the course. Thank you!"
Dr. Jonas Anuzis, Radiologist, Vilnius University Hospital Santaros klinikos (Fellow, March 2023)
"Excellent interactive course with a highly experienced mentor who was always ready to answer our questions"
Dr. Dr. Georgina Gati, radiologist, Telemedicine Clinic (Fellow, March 2023)
"Elna-Marie's in-depth knowledge of the subject, organization, and impeccable teaching skills are beyond commendable. She simply makes it look easy! And, this is unarguably one of the best courses for anyone wanting to have an excellent overview of dementia."
Dr. Olusola Patrick Bello, Radiologist, Canada (Fellow, Aug 2022)

Professor emerita in Neuroradiology at Uppsala University
Elna-Marie Larsson, MD, PhD, is professor emerita of neuroradiology at Uppsala University, Sweden. She received her medical degree from the University of Lund (1977), Sweden, and her doctoral degree (PhD) in diagnostic radiology from the same university (1989). This was followed by a post-doc for one year at the University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio, Texas, USA. During 2006-2009, she had a position as professor of radiology at Aarhus University, Denmark. In 2009 she moved back to Sweden and became appointed as professor of neuroradiology at Uppsala University and from 2010 also visiting professor of neuroradiology at Linkoping University, both until retirement in 2018. She has published more than 200 papers in peer reviewed scientific journals and 30 descriptive articles and textbook chapters. She has been main supervisor of 14 PhD students who have defended their doctoral theses and co-supervisor for 14 PhD students. Her research has been focused on advanced MR imaging of the brain with applications in dementia, brain tumours and normal pressure hydrocephalus. Her clinical activity has included CT and MRI of the brain, spine and ear, nose and throat (ENT) and she presently works for TMC as clinical neuroradiologist reporting on these topics. She has been director of neuroradiology and of MRI at the department of radiology, Lund University Hospital and at the department of radiology, Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden. She has a vast experience of teaching (national and international) with emphasis on MRI and neuroradiology and has been organizer of several MRI and neuroradiology courses including ESMRMB courses. She has been president of the European Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine and Biology (ESMRMB), the Swedish Society of Neuroradiology (SFNR), the Nordic Society of Neuroradiology (NSNR), and the Danish Society for Medical Magnetic Resonance (DSMMR).
