Dual-Phase 18F-FP-CIT PET in 2 Different Clinical Phenotypes of Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

We describe MRI and dual-phase 18F-FP-CIT PET findings in 2 cases of sporadic CJD presenting different clinical phenotypes (Heidenhain variant and corticobasal syndrome). Our case series suggest that dual-phase FP-CIT-PET findings may improve the diagnosis of CJD by combining the perfusion patterns in early phase with the dopamine transporter density in delayed phase. Familiarity with these dual-phase FP-CIT PET findings is helpful for early correct diagnosis of CJD.
