Frontotemporal dementia: F-FDG brain PET/CT study of a 72-year-old woman with
anomia, progressive memory impairment, cognitive decline, and gradual paucity of speech.
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 frontal and temporal cortices (compared with a normal brain database, Mim
software 6.2. Blue, −2 SDs; purple, −3 SDs), compatible with a diagnosis of frontotemporal
dementia.
