Background and Purpose: Dementia subtypes, including Alzheimer’s dementia (AD),
dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), pose diagnostic
challenges. This review examines the effectiveness of 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron
Emission Tomography (18F-FDG PET) in differentiating these subtypes for precise treatment
and management.
Methods: A systematic review following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews
and Meta-Analyses guidelines was conducted using databases like PubMed and Embase to
identify studies on the diagnostic utility of 18F-FDG PET in dementia. The search included
studies up to November 16, 2022, focusing on peer-reviewed journals and applying the goldstandard clinical diagnosis for dementia subtypes.
Results: From 12,815 articles, 14 were selected for final analysis. For AD versus FTD, the
sensitivity was 0.96 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.88–0.98) and specificity was 0.84 (95%
CI, 0.70–0.92). In the case of AD versus DLB, 18F-FDG PET showed a sensitivity of 0.93 (95%
CI 0.88-0.98) and specificity of 0.92 (95% CI, 0.70–0.92). Lastly, when differentiating AD
from non-AD dementias, the sensitivity was 0.86 (95% CI, 0.80–0.91) and the specificity
was 0.88 (95% CI, 0.80–0.91). The studies mostly used case-control designs with visual and
quantitative assessments.
Conclusions: 18F-FDG PET exhibits high sensitivity and specificity in differentiating dementia
subtypes, particularly AD, FTD, and DLB. This method, while not a standalone diagnostic
tool, significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy in uncertain cases, complementing clinical
assessments and structural imaging.
