FDG PET/MRI for Visual Detection of Crossed Cerebellar Diaschisis in Patients With Dementia

摘要

OBJECTIVE. Depressed regional metabolism and cerebellar blood flow may be caused by dysfunction in anatomically separate but functionally related regions, presumably related to disruption of the corticopontine-cerebellar pathway. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) in patients undergoing F-18-FDG PET/MRI for suspected neurodegenerative disease.
