Background Based on a longitudinal cohort design, the aim of this study was to investigate
whether individual-based 18F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG …

Objective To construct a 18F‐FDG PET normative database of Japanese healthy elderly
subjects and to apply it to demented and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients. Methods …

Manual definition of regions of interest (ROIs) has been considered the reference standard
method in PET data evaluation. The method is labor-intensive, prone to rater bias and may …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Functional brain variability has been scarcely investigated
in cognitively healthy elderly subjects, and it is currently debated whether previous findings …

Abstract Background 2-Deoxy-2-[18F] fluoroglucose (FDG) PET is an important tool for the
identification of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients through the characteristic …

Background: Metabolic patterns on brain F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission
tomography (PET) can predict the decline in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) to …

Cerebral glucose metabolism is a reliable index of neural activity and may provide evidence
for brain function in healthy adults. We studied the correlation between cerebral glucose …

Objective To extract accurate image-derived input functions from dynamic brain positron
emission tomography images (DBPIs) using independent component analysis (ICA) …

Current PET datasets are becoming larger, thereby increasing the demand for fast and
reproducible processing pipelines. This paper presents a freely available, open source …

Abstract Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is an important neuroimaging tool to quantify
the distribution of specific molecules in the brain. The quantification is based on a series of …
