title: [Interest and role of brain scintigraphy in the diagnosis of dementia in 2014].
abstract: Isotopic functional brain imaging is an important tool for the diagnosis and assessment of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. This paper is a review of currently available radiotracers for PET and SPECT imaging, making a distinction between so-called topographical and pathophysiological markers. The respective indications and limitations of the ligands are presented.
