Whilst local MRI reporting of sCJD has improved with time, characteristic abnormalities remain significantly under detected on initial scans. Sensitivity is better when the cerebral cortex and multiple regions are involved. We re-emphasize the utility of MRI and encourage further efforts to improve awareness and sensitivity in the assessment of patients with rapidly progressive dementia.
