A New Era of Alzheimer's Therapeutics: Biomarkers, AI for ARIA Detection, and PET Neuroimaging, presented by the ASNR Alzheimer, ARIA & Dementia Study Group


A New Era of Alzheimer's Therapeutics: Biomarkers, AI for ARIA Detection, and PET Neuroimaging, presented by the ASNR Alzheimer, ARIA & Dementia Study Group

Description & Learning Objectives
Planned and presented by the Alzheimer's/ARIA/Dementia Study Group, with Cyrus Raji, MD, PhD moderating.

Agenda
1. Update on NIAA Criteria: Clifford Jack
2. Multimodal dementia imaging including AI tools for ARIA surveillance: Suzie Bash
3. Moving to CMS and Amyloid and Tau PET: Ana Franceschi

Upon completion of this activity, participants will gain strategies to:
1. Understand options for fluid and imaging biomarkers in defining Alzheimer's disease and understanding how this may precede the subsequent clinical syndrome of Alzheimer's dementia.
2. Describe new AI tools for ARIA detection.
3. Understand new options for application of brain PET in clinical practice for detection of Alzheimer disease biomarkers.
4. Discuss the neuroimaging pathway for patients with suspected Alzheimer’s disease through clinical case examples.
5. Understand recent updates on DMT including ARIA risk factors and grading.
6. Learn about AI tools which can assist in ARIA surveillance.
Instructions for Participation
To complete this activity, learners will watch a recording of a live webinar and submit a course evaluation. Once all elements are completed, a certificate will be automatically added to your transcript.
