Abstract 

This article reviews recent use of structural imaging in the diagnosis of dementia and presents evidence-based recommendations approved at the meeting of the Third Canadian Consensus Conference on the Diagnosis and Treatment of Dementia held in Montreal in March, 2006. Although the consensus group concurs that it is possible to specify circumstances in which structural imaging has a role to rule out pathology, it also has a role in ruling in concomitant cerebrovascular disease for patient management.
