Added value of semiquantitative analysis of brain FDG-PET for the differentiation between MCI-Lewy bodies and MCI due to Alzheimer's disease

CONCLUSION: Conventional visual reading of FDG-PET is moderately accurate in distinguishing between MCI-LB and MCI-AD, and is not significantly improved by univariate single-subject VBA but by a VROI analysis built on macro-regions, allowing for high accuracy independent of reader skills.PMID:34651219 | DOI:10.1007/s00259-021-05568-w
