Progress on Cerebral Glucose Metabolism Patterns of PET Imaging in Parkinson's Disease / 中国医学影像学杂志

ABSTRACT

Parkinson's disease(PD)is a common neurodegenerative disease,which seriously affects the quality of life of patients.The early and accurate diagnosis of PD is still a major medical problem.Positron computed tomography(PET)can be used to monitor noninvasively the pathophysiological changes in the early stage of PD in vivo,which has good clinical application value.18F-FDG PET cerebral glucose metabolism imaging is the most convenient and widely used detection method.At present,a variety of specific cerebral metabolic patterns of PD have been found,which have good guidance for the early diagnosis,differential diagnosis,disease monitoring and curative efficacy judgment of PD.Therefore,this paper focuses on the review of the 18F-FDG PET cerebral glucose metabolism model related to PD,aiming to enable a better application of this technique to the diagnosis of PD.
