PET and SPECT Imaging of ALS: An Educational Review
Mol Imaging. 2023 Aug 19;2023:5864391. doi: 10.1155/2023/5864391. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disease leading to progressive motor degeneration and ultimately death. It is a complex disease that can take a significantly long time to be diagnosed, as other similar pathological conditions must be ruled out for a definite diagnosis of ALS. Noninvasive imaging of ALS has shed light on disease pathology and altered biochemistry in the ALS brain. Other than magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), two types of functional imaging, positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission compute...
