Lewy body dementia: F-FDG brain PET/CT study of a 43-year-old woman with memory
loss and visuospatial dysfunction. The left and right lateral (A) and left and right medial (B)
3-dimensional stereotactic surface projection images of FDG hypometabolism demonstrate
glucose hypometabolism involving the bilateral occipital and parietal cortices, extending to
the temporal cortex (compared with a normal brain database, Mim software 6.2. Blue, −2
SDs; purple, −3 SDs), features suggestive of Lewy body dementia.
