Are we ready for amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) monitoring?

QSA Co-Founder Dr. Frederik Barkhof (Chair of Neuroradiology in the UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology at University College London) recently published the paper “Are we ready for amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) monitoring? A European survey among neuroradiologists and neurologists by the ESNR/EAN Working Group” in European Radiology:

• “The European Society of Neuroradiology (ESNR)/European Academy of Neurology (EAN) ARIA Working Group conducted a survey to assess European clinicians’ readiness for this logistical challenge and need for further education on ARIA… An online questionnaire…was distributed to ESNR and EAN members…[receiving] 422 responses from 41 European countries, including 47% neurologists and 51% (neuro)radiologists; 15% were residents, and 58% worked in academic hospitals.  Of respondents, 69% were familiar with the concept of ARIA, and 60% reportedly understood its risk factors.”
