1197 Objectives Cognitive impairment is frequently observed in aging. In order to correlate
alterations in cerebral glucose metabolism with age, we evaluated FDG-PET as a …

Objective: With the technique development, PET has been more and more applied in brain
function research. The aim of this study was to investigate the tendency of regional cerebral …

Abstract Objective 2-[18F] fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography ([18F]-
FDG-PET) is a imaging modality that has been used to measure of glucose metabolism in …

940 Objectives: To determine differences in brain metabolism between patients suffering
from Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Methods: 38 …

In recent years, functional brain imaging modalities have been used as key tools for studying
brain regional and global processes in healthy adults, as well as the pathophysiology and …

The authors' goal was to show the importance of starting scanning at a uniform time after F-
18 fluorodeoxyglucose injection in positron emission tomography (PET) brain study. Method …

Background The close connection between neuronal activity and glucose consumption
accounts for the clinical value of 18F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (FDG) imaging in …

2125 Objectives: In this study we evaluated whether the [F-18] FDG brain PET images
obtained in the whole body scan was statistically equivalent to those optimized for brain …

2060 Objectives To investigate the impact of variations in plasma glucose levels on the FDG
rate constants in mouse brain using intravenous (IV) and intraperitoneal (IP) injections …

In addition to tumors, normal tissues, such as the brain and myocardium can intake $^{18} F
$-FDG, and the amount of $^{18} F $-FDG intake by normal tissues can be altered by the …
