Traditional Role for Neuroimaging in Dementia Indication: Rule out reversible process Quality Standards Subcommittee of the AAN, 1994: “Neuroimaging should be considered in every patient with dementia” “… potentially treatable disorders that can otherwise be missed, such as tumors, subdural hematomas, hydrocephalus, and strokes.” “… there is no consensus on the need for such studies in the evaluation of patients with the insidious onset of dementia after age 60 without focal signs or symptoms, seizures, or gait disturbances.” Alter M, 1994

Slide 20-

FDG PET Medicare CoverageDementia and Neurodegenerative Diseases Effective 9/15/2004, “An FDG PET scan is considered reasonable and necessary in patients with: a recent diagnosis of dementia, documented cognitive decline of at least 6 months, meet diagnostic criteria for both AD and FTD.” http://www.cms.gov/Regulations-and-Guidance/Guidance/Manuals/downloads/ncd103c1_Part4.pdf
Slide 21-

FDG PET Medicare CoverageDementia and Neurodegenerative Diseases Additional prerequisites include: Comprehensive evaluation already completed, including brain CT or MRI Evaluation by “a physician experienced in the diagnosis and assessment of dementia” Evaluation is indeterminate and FDG PET is reasonably expected to clarify the diagnosis between FTD and AD SPECT or PET have not already been obtained in the past 12 months AND significant clinical changes have occurred

Alzheimer’s Disease The most common cause of dementia Affects over 5 million Americans 6th leading cause of death for people in the US Affects 1 in 9 age 65 and older, 1 in 3 over age 85 About 10% of people have early onset which affects people under age 65

Imaging Findings in AD MRI Early: “Normal” or medial temporal atrophy Late: Generalized atrophy FDG PET Early: Hypometabolism in the temporal/parietal regions Late: Generalized hypometabolism (with sparing of primary sensorimotor cortex) Amyloid PET All stages: Generalized cortical amyloid deposition Amyloid binding may also occur with normal aging

But… Aẞ burden as assessed by positron emission tomography(PET) does not strongly correlate with cognitive impairment in AD patients

Tau Imaging Human postmortem studies have shown that it is the density of NFTs and not of Aẞ insoluble plaques that strongly correlates with neurodegeneration and cognitive deficits. Villemagne 2014

What should I do today??? I want to work up a patient with cognitive symptoms. What imaging modality should I order? “I'm sorry, my responses are limited. You must ask the right question.” Hologram of Dr. Lanning (James Cromwell) to Det. Spooner (Will Smith): From: I, Robot Film released by 20th Century Fox in 2004 Based on a series of short stories by Isaac Asimov
Slide 57-

I want to work up a patient with cognitive symptoms. What imaging modality should I order? What is the clinical suspicion(s)? What is the local access to advanced imaging techniques? Do patient comorbidities suggest a wider DDx? Are there any patient-specific limitations to imaging (foreign body, tolerance of prolonged scan times, body habitus, etc)?
