The cingulate island sign (CIS) on F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET); ie, the relative preservation of mid-posterior cingulate cortex metabolism, is a supportive biomarker in the diagnostic criteria for dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). However, limited information is currently available on the diagnostic value of the CIS on FDG-PET or I-iodoamphetamine single-photon emission computed tomography (IMP-SPECT) for differentiating between mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) (MCI-AD) and MCI due to DLB (MCI-DLB).
We examined the CIS ratio in 9 AD patients, 9 DLB patients, 8 patients with MCI-AD, and 9 patients with MCI-DLB using FDG-PET and IMP-SPECT. The CIS ratio was calculated using NEUROSTAT software.
In the dementia groups, a receiver operating characteristic analysis of the CIS ratio showed significant accuracy for differentiating between AD and DLB on FDG-PET and IMP-SPECT. In the MCI groups, only the FDG-PET derived CIS ratio displayed significant accuracy for differentiating between AD and DLB.
The FDG-PET and IMP-SPECT derived CIS ratios are both useful for differentiating between AD and DLB. The FDG-PET derived CIS ratio is more valuable than the IMP-SPECT derived CIS ratio for differential diagnosis in patients with MCI. A larger study is needed to confirm these results.
在 F-氟脱氧葡萄糖正电子发射断层扫描(FDG-PET)中,扣带回岛征(CIS),即中后扣带回皮质代谢相对保留,是路易体痴呆(DLB)诊断标准中的一个支持性生物标志物。然而,目前关于 CIS 在 FDG-PET 或 I-碘安非他命单光子发射计算机断层扫描(IMP-SPECT)上对区分阿尔茨海默病(AD)所致轻度认知障碍(MCI)(MCI-AD)和 DLB 所致 MCI(MCI-DLB)的诊断价值的信息有限。
我们使用 FDG-PET 和 IMP-SPECT 检查了 9 例 AD 患者、9 例 DLB 患者、8 例 MCI-AD 患者和 9 例 MCI-DLB 患者的 CIS 比值。CIS 比值使用 NEUROSTAT 软件计算。
在痴呆组中,CIS 比值的受试者工作特征分析在 FDG-PET 和 IMP-SPECT 上对 AD 和 DLB 的鉴别具有显著准确性。在 MCI 组中,只有 FDG-PET 衍生的 CIS 比值对 AD 和 DLB 的鉴别具有显著准确性。
FDG-PET 和 IMP-SPECT 衍生的 CIS 比值均可用于区分 AD 和 DLB。在 MCI 患者中,FDG-PET 衍生的 CIS 比值比 IMP-SPECT 衍生的 CIS 比值更有助于鉴别诊断。需要更大的研究来证实这些结果。
