  1. FDG-PET hypermetabolism is associated with higher tau-PET in mild cognitive impairment at low amyloid-PET levels

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Alzheimer's research & therapy 2020-10-19 Brain scans and imaging

    Higher tau-PET in the presence of low amyloid-PET is associated with abnormally increased glucose metabolism that is accompanied by episodic memory impairment.

  2. Early detection of Alzheimer's disease using PiB and FDG PET

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of disease 2014-05-10 Brain scans and imaging

    Use of biomarkers in the detection of early and preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) has become of central importance following publication of the NIA-Alzheimer's Association revised criteria for the diagnosis of AD, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and preclinical AD.

  3. The topography of metabolic deficits in posterior cortical atrophy (the visual variant of Alzheimer's disease) with FDG-PET

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Journal of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry 2003-11-01 Brain scans and imaging

    The neuropsychological and PET findings are consistent with damage predominantly to the dorsal stream of visual processing.
