Implications of Hydrocephalus on FDG-PET Statistical Parametric Mapping Analysis in Neurodegenerative Disease Evaluation
Our study highlights hydrocephalus as an important pitfall of FDG-PET SPM, particularly when analyzing the cingulate regions, integral to the clinical evaluation of dementia. Awareness of this pitfall can improve diagnostic accuracy and thus improve clinical outcomes in this growing patient population.
