[HTML][HTML] Assessment of change in glucose metabolism in white matter of amyloid-positive patients with Alzheimer disease using F-18 FDG PET
In Alzheimer disease (AD), neuroinflammation is an important process related to the
deposition of beta-amyloid plaques and the activation of microglia. The inflammatory
process can occur in both the gray matter and the white matter. We evaluated glucose
metabolism of the white matter in AD patients and compared the value with cognitive
parameters of the patients.
