Early and accurate diagnosis is of great importance in alleviating the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and slowing down its progression.
For a definitive diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, a series of methods and tests are typically applied. These primarily include:
* Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
* Blood tests
* Ultrasonography
* Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
* Electroencephalography (EEG) brain scan
If suspicion of Alzheimer's persists after the above tests, specialist physicians will make a definitive diagnosis by applying special tests that evaluate cognitive functions (also known as 'Alzheimer's tests' among the public).
