Background: A corollary of the reserve hypothesis is that what is regarded as pathological cortical metabolism in patients might vary according to education. Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the incremental diagnostic value of education-adjusted over unadjusted thresholds on the diagnostic accuracy of FDG-PET as a biomarker for...
The joint modeling of neuroimaging data across multiple datasets requires to consistently analyze high-dimensional and heterogeneous information in presence of often non-overlapping sets of views across data samples (e.g. imaging data, clinical scores, biological measurements). This analysis is associated with the problem of missing information...
Purpose: There are no comprehensive guidelines for the use of FDG PET in the following three clinical scenarios: (1) diagnostic work-up of patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD) at risk of future cognitive decline, (2) discriminating idiopathic PD from progressive supranuclear palsy, and (3) identifying the underlying neuropathology...
SimulAD is a computational disease progression model (DPM) originally developed on the ADNI database to simulate the evolution of clinical and imaging markers characteristic of AD, and to quantify the disease severity (DS) of a subject. In this work, we assessed the validity of this estimated DS, as well as the generalization of the DPM, by...

PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to evaluate extrastriatal dopaminergic and serotonergic pathways in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) using 123I-FP-CIT SPECT imaging. METHODS: The study groups comprised 56 PD patients without dementia, 41 DLB patients and 54 controls. Each patient underwent a...

Objective: To identify brain regions whose metabolic impairment contributes to dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) clinical core features expression and to assess the influence of severity of global cognitive impairment on the DLB hypometabolic pattern. Methods: Brain fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and information on core features...
