Comparison of 18F-FDG PET and arterial spin labeling MRI in evaluating Alzheimer ’s disease and amnestic mild cognitive impairment using integrated PET/MR

ConclusionASL could detect similar aberrant patterns of abnormalities compared to18F-FDG PET in patients with AD compared with NC participants but not in aMCI. The diagnostic efficiency of18F-FDG-PET for AD and aMCI patients remained higher to ASL. Our findings support that applying18F-FDG PET may be preferable for diagnosing AD and aMCI.
