dementia is a sad topic that affects many people. Often the symptoms that indicate dementia are not clear and can also be caused by other organic or mental illnesses. Therefore, a structured dementia clarification is essential. In the Salzkammergut Clinic in Vöcklabruck, a comprehensive, multi -stage process is offered that helps to make a clear diagnosis. This procedure begins with a detailed neurological examination of the state of health and is supplemented by clinical tests and neuropsychological evaluations.

comprehensive clarification and early detection

If the first examinations do not lead to a clear diagnosis, additional nuclear medical procedures are available. The state-of-the-art positron emission computer tomography (PET-CT) is used in order to gain deeper insights into health. These precise diagnostic techniques are fundamental, especially since dementia is still not curable. Nevertheless, the early detection of the disease is of outstanding importance. If the diagnosis in good time, certain drugs or other forms of therapy can be used to slow down the progression of the disease and maintain the quality of life of those affected over a longer period of time.
