Background: The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between neuroradiological and clinical diagnosis in patients presenting with cognitive impairment, and also the relationship between the neuroradiological abnormalities and cognitive function as assessed by the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score.
Methods: One hundred and four elderly subjects (65 years and over) with cognitive impairment, referred to secondary hospital services and who had brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans as part of routine clinical investigations, were studied by review of their MRI scans using a standardized procedure and by examination of the case notes.
Results: In patients with a clinical diagnosis of senile dementia Alzheimer-type (SDAT), the diagnosis was reviewed in 11.
