Hypoperfusion of the Left Insula, Operculum, and Putamen on Technetium-99m Ethyl Cysteinate Dimer (99mTc-ECD) Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography in Patients With Mild Cognitive Impairment and Early Alzheimer's Disease
We reported the decreased rCBF in the left insula, operculum, and putamen. However, its clinical significance beyond the associations with forgetfulness and its natural radiological course remains unclear.
