The technology behind positron emission tomography (PET) and the most widely used tracer,
2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG), were both conceived in the 1970s, but the latest …

The type, frequency, and extent of MR signal abnormalities in Alzheimer's disease and normal
aging are a subject of controversy. With a 1.5-MR unit we studied 12 Alzheimer patients, …

ContextDeficits in cerebral glucose utilization have been identified in patients with cognitive
dysfunction attributed to various disease processes, but their prognostic and diagnostic …

Positron emission tomography (PET) studies have been performed using 18‐F‐fluorodeoxyglucose
