Imaging in dementia with Lewy bodies: a review.
This review discusses the role of functional and structural imaging in patients with suspected dementia with Lewy bodies, with particular emphasis on SPECT and PET dopaminergic and cerebral perfusion/metabolic techniques. It is envisaged that this information may be useful to nuclear medicine physicians, radiologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, geriatricians and physicians.
