Abstract
Early detection of dementia is crucial for effective intervention and better patient outcomes. Recent advances in imaging and genetic biomarkers have enhanced the ability to identify dementia at its onset, even before clinical symptoms become apparent. Imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and functional MRI (fMRI) have provided critical insights into brain alterations that occur in the early stages of dementia. In parallel, genetic markers such as APOE genotype and mutations in other genes have shown promising potential in identifying individuals at risk. This paper explores the role of these advanced diagnostic tools in the early identification of dementia, focusing on their diagnostic accuracy, benefits, and challenges. The integration of both imaging and genetic biomarkers could significantly improve the diagnostic process, allowing for earlier intervention and personalized treatment strategies. Further research is required to validate these markers in diverse populations.
