Occipital and cingulate hypometabolism are significantly under-reported on 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography scans of patients with lewy body dementia

Occipital and cingulate hypometabolism is under-reported and missed frequently on clinical interpretations of FDG-PET scans of patients with DLB, but the frequency of hypometabolism is even higher than previously reported. Further studies with more statistical power and receiver operating characteristic analyses are needed to delineate the sensitivity and specificity of these biomarkers.
