Certain modern CT scan techniques may show if you have a tendency or likelihood of Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's doesn't appear as a concrete thing but certain distance measurements from the brain ventricles to the mid line of the brain can be plotted by specialist doctors in a special table to determine the likelihood of Alzheimer's. The degree of atrophy of the brain can also indicate problems with senility.
