Overview

CT and PET scans are generally normal in Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and may be helpful in ruling out other diseases. On CT scan, rapidly progressive ventricular enlargement and cortical atrophy may be present. On PET scan, abnormalities in thalamic regions may be present.

CT Scan

  • On CT scan, rapidly progressive ventricular enlargement and cortical atrophy may be present.[1]

PET Scan

  • On PET scan, abnormalities in thalamic regions may be present.[2][3]
