Excerpt

A 58-year-old female presented with insidious onset progressive vision and visuospatial difficulties followed by memory and sleep problems for 3 years. With a clinical diagnosis of posterior cortical atrophy-variant of Alzheimers disease (AD) or Diffuse Lewy body dementia, she was referred for F-18 Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and F-18 Tau (Tau-AD-ML104, ORA) positron emission tomography (PET) which revealed hypometabolism (upper row) in the parietal, and posterior temporo-occipital cortices (more severe in the right cerebral hemisphere) with abnormal Tau binding in the same regions (lower row). …
