Abstract

Imaging biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease include medial temporal lobe atrophy (MTLA) depicted on CT or MRI, and patterns of reduced metabolism on FDG-PET. To investigate whether MTLA on head CT predicts the diagnostic usefulness of an additional FDG-PET scan. Participants had a clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD; n=37), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB; n=30), or were similarly aged controls (n=30). We visually rated MTLA on coronally reconstructed CT scans and, separately and blind to CT ratings, abnormal appearances on FDG-PET scans.
