PET More Accurate Than Genetic Testing for Alzheimer's- PET imaging of glucose
metabolism in the brain can accurately predict which
patients with mild cognitive impairment will progress to
full-blown Alzheimer's dementia, according to the
researchers reporting in the Oct. 2005 Journal of Nuclear
Medicine. A combination of both functional imaging and
genotyping may allow an early high-risk or low-risk
stratification of patients with either very high sensitivity
or very high specificity.
