Case Challenge USA: Interpreting Cognitive Decline and Parkinsonian Features
Authored by Ana Franceschi
Part of a two-case challenge series focused on the US healthcare system, this interactive module puts your clinical decision-making and PET interpretation skills into action. You’ll evaluate two patients with progressive cognitive concerns ‒ including functional decline and parkinsonian features ‒ integrating imaging findings with real-world clinical judgment. Practice interpreting results and communicating next steps as you would in everyday care.
If you have any questions or comments on the topics discussed, please share these through our Imaging Exchange.
