a 3D-SSP analysis of 18FDG PET normalized to the whole brain shows mild-to-moderate FDG hypometabolism in the bilateral anterior and medial temporal lobes, superior parietal lobes, lateral occipital lobes, anterior cingulate cortices, and bilateral cerebellar hemispheres. b 18FDG PET/MRI fused image clearly shows the degree of FDG hypometabolism and volume loss in the bilateral hippocampi.
