Each group contained subjects with mild senile dementia of the Alzheimer type (SDAT) and matched controls. In both experiments there was a strong correlation between these ran...
متن کاملMetabolic correlates of brain reserve in dementia with Lewy bodies: an FDG PET study.
BACKGROUND Studies suggest that brain reserve allows patients with more years of schooling to cope better with brain damage. Research has been mainly focussed on Alzheimer's disease and no studies exist on patients with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). The aim of this study was to provide evidence for brain reserve in DLB. METHODS Twenty-one consecutive patients with DLB and 16 age-matched he...
متن کاملACR-ASNR Practice Parameter for Brain PET/CT Imaging Dementia.
This practice parameter is for both FDG and amyloid brain PET or PET/computed tomography (CT) for patients with cognitive decline, and has been developed collaboratively by the American College of Radiology (ACR) and the American Society for Neuroradiology (ASNR). It is estimated that the number of people with dementia, 36.5 million worldwide in 2010, will increase to 65.7 million in 2030 and t...
