Normal patterns of regional brain 18F-FDG uptake in normal aging.

CONCLUSION: In conclusion, these findings confirm a significant age dependent reduction of supratentorial 18F-FDG uptake among healthy individuals. However, cerebellum 18F-FDG uptake reduction was not so redundant. Fluorine-18-FDG uptake of all cerebral lobes including frontal, parieto-occipital and temporal decreases with normal aging in a same fashion. Interestingly, among both young and old female subjects, higher uptake was seen in supratentorial brain. PMID: 30411727 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
