“I enjoyed reading this book and will keep it available in our department for teaching and as a useful reference. … The illustrations and neuro-imaging are generally of a high standard. This book is likely to be of interest to a wide range of readers, clinicians, clinical radiologists and anyone commencing research in dementia.” (Andrew D MacKinnon, RAD Magazine, October, 2018)“This is a guide to aid researchers and clinicians in decision making and analysis of imaging for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. … The audience is anyone involved in clinical care or research where imaging is needed. … The authors are well respected experts in their areas. ... The images are of high quality and are discussed explicitly.” (Carol Lippa, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2018)
