Molecular imaging is key in dementia, especially for early diagnosis, but also for identifying reversible forms of dementia. The objective of this presentation is to give the clinical perspective of molecular imaging for improving the early diagnosis of dementia and to explain how it may help to improve the diagnosis of reversible dementia. We will use the recent development of a new clinical...
PET imaging allows the production of high resolution images of radiopharmaceutical distribution in humans and animals. With the use of appropriate radiopharmaceuticals combined with tracer kinetic modeling, relevant physiological parameters such as volume of distribution (VT) and binding potential (BPND) can be quantified in vivo. The development of appropriate modeling methodology typically...
