Pattern of Regional Cerebral Metabolism before Onset of Clinically Evident Lewy Body Disease Differentially Predicts Future Lewy Body vs. Alzheimer’s Symptom Progression among Patients with Parietotemporal Hypometabolism at Baseline

Abstract

Background: Regional cerebral metabolic patterns can distinguish demented patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) from those with Lewy bodies (LB) during life, correlating with clinical diagnoses that are subsequently confirmed by autopsy.
