Recent Advancement and Clinical Implications of 18FDG-PET in Parkinson’s Disease, Atypical Parkinsonisms, and Other Movement Disorders

Abstract Purpose of Review The molecular imaging field has been very instrumental in identifying the multiple network interactions that compose the human brain. The cerebral glucose metabolism is associated with neural function. 18F-fluoro-deoxyglucose-PET (FDG-PET) studies reflect brain metabolism in a pattern-specific manner. This article reviews FDG-PET studies in Parkinson’s disease (PD), atypical parkinsonism (AP), Huntington’s...
