Brain Disorders

Impact of PET/CT Scan on brain disorders.
PET/CT scans can be used to evaluate certain brain disorders, such as:

Cognitive Impairment

  • Differential, early (before change on MRI) diagnosis of dementia
  • Mild cognitive impairment: AD vs non-AD
  • Alzheimer’s Disease
  • Vascular dementia
  • Frontotemporal dementia
  • Dementia with Lewy bodies
  • Excellent prognostic value in a negative test
Study: PET/CT of Dementia

Traumatic Brain Injury

Demonstration of abnormal metabolic findings even with normal MRI anatomy
  • Metabolic abnormalities correlate with mechanism of injury
  • Findings correlate with abnormalities demonstrated on neuropsychological testing
FDG PET in traumatic brain injury

Epilepsy

  • Interictal FDG PET has high sensitivity for extra-temporal epilepsy
  • Detection of temporal lobe epilepsy despite normal MRI
  • “MRI-negative PET-positive” temporal lobe epilepsy
