Abstract:
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the pattern of glucose uptake and the changes over time of metabolic deficits in patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Methods: 10 patients who had received the clinical diagnosis of FTD underwent positron emission tomography scanning at the time of their first examination (baseline) and at follow-up (after 17.1 ± 6.0 months). For statistical analysis, we used the SPM 99 software. First, we compared the data of the patients at baseline with...     »
