The need to identify specific forms of dementia and their stages has fostered a surge to differentiate Alzheimer's disease (AD) from related dementias. Research has taken several directions, focusing on neuropsychological assessments, and now on neuroimaging with positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT). Defining methodological criteria for the diagnostic indicators is a major focus for these imaging methods.
识别特定形式的痴呆症及其阶段的需求促使人们激增,以区分阿尔茨海默病(AD)与相关痴呆症。研究有几个方向,重点是神经心理学评估,现在则是正电子发射断层扫描(PET)和单光子发射计算机断层扫描(SPECT)的神经影像学。为诊断指标定义方法学标准是这些成像方法的主要重点。
