... patients were followed for 4–6 years and the incidence of AD was 11.6%/year. At baseline, the cube copying test, clock drawing test, MMSE and measurements of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) β-amyloid 1–42 (Aβ 42 ) were performed. Results: The cube copying test...

... regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) changes in regions of interest. Results: In healthy control subjects, verbal recognition increased rCBF in the right occipital region, thalamus, left prefrontal pole, posterior parietal region and cerebellum, and decreased rCBF in the right hippocampus. AD subjects...

The regional cerebral blood flow difference (rCBFdiff) calculated as local uptake difference between the right and left hemisphere was measured for patients with VD and MIX. Results: PET showed higher sensitivity and specificity in identifying the different types of early dementia...

...David H. Ingvar This is a brief history of the use of brain imaging in neuropsychology and psychiatry. There are two main parts. The first concerns brain imaging using regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) measurements with xenon clearance. The 2-dimensional rCBF techniques have been used since 1961...
