Imaging in cognitive aging and dementia

摘要

I became interested in radiology as a medical student and this interest grew as a resident and senior house officer (now equivalent of foundation years 1 and 2). I realized that radiology allowed confirmation of a diagnosis suspected from taking a history and examination of a patient, or excluded the clinical diagnosis and showed something entirely different. In those days, people entering radiology higher training were expected to have trained in another specialty first and so I spent 2 more years after being a resident training in hospital medicine and taking the Membership of the Royal College of Physicians examination, before training as a radiologist in Glasgow (UK) and Aberdeen (UK), and finally becoming a consultant radiologist in 1995.
