September 1, 2011 – As with all chronic illnesses, it is everyone's dream to be able to diagnose Alzheimer's disease in the early stages. Naturally, the aim is to prevent the late stage, i.e. dementia, through early therapy. Scientists around the world are making ever more progress in early diagnosis – for instance, in the field of imaging technologies. What is already diagnostically possible today will be showcased at MEDICA 2011, the world's largest medical trade fair and congress to be held from Nov. 16–19, 2011 in Düsseldorf, Germany, with more than 4,500 exhibitors from 60 countries.
