Neuroimaging has played an important role in the characterization of the frontotemporal dementia (FTD) syndromes, demonstrating neurodegenerative signatures that can aid in the differentiation of FTD from other neurodegenerative disorders. Recent advances have been driven largely by the refinement of the clinical syndromes that underlie FTD, and by the discovery of new genetic and pathological features associated with FTD. Many new imaging techniques and modalities are also now available that allow the assessment of other aspects of brain structure and function, such as diffusion tensor imaging and resting-state functional MRI. Studies have used these recent techniques, as well as traditional volumetric MRI, to provide further insight into disease progression across the many clinical, genetic, and pathological variants of FTD. Importantly, neuroimaging signatures have been identified that will improve the clinician's ability to predict underlying genetic and pathological features, and hence ultimately improve patient diagnosis.
