Atypical brain FDG-PET patterns increase the risk of long-term cognitive and motor progression in Parkinson's disease

Brain hypometabolism patterns have been previously associated with cognitive decline in Parkinson's disease (PD). Our aim is to evaluate the impact of single-subject fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET brain hypometabolism on long-term cognitive and motor outcomes in PD.
