Purpose: To evaluate of possibilities of18F-FDG PET in differential diagnosis of vascular dementia and other nosological forms of this disease. PET data were compared with results of imaging and clinical methods of examinations.
Materials and methods: 38 patients with different forms of dementia were examined by18F-FDG PET. Results: Metabolic patterns of the main types of dementia were revealed.
Resume:18F-FDG PET is very effective imaging tool to make early diagnosis of main clinical types of dementia.
