Overview
Other imaging findings
Recently, the functional neuroimaging modalities of SPECT and PET have shown quite similar ability to diagnose dementia as clinical exam [1]. SPECT's ability to differentiate vascular type from Alzheimer disease types of dementias appears to be superior to clinical exam.[2]
