Positron emission tomographic studies of aging and Alzheimer disease.
In this study the positron emission tomographic (PET)-18F-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) technique was used to study both normal aging and senile dementia. The results derived from 15 young normal subjects (mean age, 26 +/- 5 years) and 22 elderly normal subjects (mean age, 66 +/- 7 years) failed to indicate significant metabolic changes associated with age. A group of 24 patients with senile...
متن کاملDetection of Alzheimer\\\\\\\'s Disease using Multitracer Positron Emission Tomography Imaging
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by impaired glucose metabolism and demonstration of amyloid plaques. Individual positron emission tomography tracers may reveal specific signs of pathology that is not readily apparent on inspection of another one. Combination of multitracer positron emission tomography imaging yields promising results. In this paper, 57 Alzheimer's disease neuroimaging ini...
متن کاملPositron Emission Tomographic Imaging in Stroke
T here is increased incidence of cognitive dysfunction after stroke. One in 10 develops vascular cognitive impairment after a single stroke and 1 in 3 after recurrent stroke. 1 Risk factors that predispose to atherosclerosis are also independently associated with an increased risk of dementia. In a review, we summarized the evidence supporting an increased risk of developing Alzheimer disease (...
متن کاملCarbon 11-labeled Pittsburgh Compound B and carbon 11-labeled (R)-PK11195 positron emission tomographic imaging in Alzheimer disease.
BACKGROUND Alzheimer disease (AD) is defined neuropathologically by the presence of neurofibrillary tangles and plaques associated with tau and beta-amyloid protein deposition. The colocalization of microglia and beta-amyloid plaques has been widely reported in pathological examination of AD and suggests that neuroinflammation may play a role in pathogenesis and/or progression. Because postmort...
متن کاملCognitive reserve-mediated modulation of positron emission tomographic activations during memory tasks in Alzheimer disease.
BACKGROUND Cognitive reserve (CR) is the ability of an individual to cope with advancing brain pathological abnormalities so that he or she remains free of symptoms. Epidemiological data and evidence from positron emission tomography suggest that it may be mediated through education or IQ. OBJECTIVE To investigate CR-mediated differential brain activation in Alzheimer disease (AD) subjects co...
