Does Advanced Involution In CT Scan Mean That The Patient Has Dementia?

Hi, I suspect my father has dementia. He has lost memory of his family and does not remember my mother at all even though they live together. My mother does not want to believe that his memory loss is caused by dementia, however I looked at his brain CT scans and the notes from pathology indicate he has advanced global involution. Does this mean my father has dementia?
