Abstract
Objective
To study the correlation between a static PET image of the first-minute-frame (FMF) acquired with 18F-labeled amyloid-binding radiotracers and brain [18F]FDG PET in patients with primary progressive aphasia (PPA).
Material and methods
The study cohort includes 17 patients diagnosed with PPA with the following distribution: 9 nonfluent variant PPA, 4 logopenic variant PPA, 1 semantic variant PPA, 3 unclassifiable PPA. Regional SUVRs are extracted from FMFs and their corresponding [18F]FDG PET images and Pearson's correlation coefficients are calculated.
Results
SUVRs of both images show similar patterns of regional cerebral alterations. Intrapatient correlation analyses result in a mean coefficient of r = .94 ± .06. Regional interpatient correlation coefficients of the study cohort are greater than 0.81. Radiotracer-specific and variant-specific subcohorts show no difference in the similarity between the images.
Conclusions
The static FMF could be a valid alternative to dynamic early-phase amyloid PET proposed in the literature, and a neurodegeneration biomarker for the diagnosis and classification of PPA in amyloid PET studies.
