Despite extensive progress in neuroimaging techniques of the brain, there exists no specific pattern of pathological changes in any type of dementia. The paper is a brief review of the most typical symptoms of dementia which are often present in computed X-ray tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, MR spectroscopy, SPECT and PET techniques. But it is possible that in the near future we will be able to assess not only the location and intensity of pathological dementive processes but their aetiology too.
