Dual-Phase 18F-FP-CIT PET in 2 Different Clinical Phenotypes of Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease

alexandrossfakianakis shared this article with you from Inoreader Dual-Phase 18F-FP-CIT PET in 2 Different Clinical Phenotypes of Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Via Clinical Nuclear Medicine - Published Ahead-of-Print Early diagnosis of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) patients is often challenging due to the low sensitivity of the current clinical diagnostic criteria. We describe MRI and dual-phase 18F-FP-CIT PET findings in 2 cases of sporadic CJD presenting different clinical phenotypes (Heidenhain variant and corticobasal syndrome). Our case series suggest that dual-phase FP-CIT-PET findings may improve the diagnosis of CJD by combining the perfusion patterns in early phase with the dopamine transporter density in delayed phase. Familiarity with these dual-phase FP-CIT PET findings is helpful for early correct diagnosis of CJD. View on the web Inoreader. Take back control of your news feed. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
