Detailed evaluation of Focal Lobar Atrophy and asymmetrical pattern as especially in FTLDcan be diagnostic.Even predilection of atrophy to left or right side could be mentioned as behavioral variant FTD,Progressive non fluent aphasia and in temporal atrophy Semantic dementia versus Logopenic aphasia can be differentiated.
