From: Thiamine diphosphate reduction strongly correlates with brain glucose hypometabolism in Alzheimer’s disease, whereas amyloid deposition does not

No correlation between brain amyloid load and glucose metabolism in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). a, b Representative 2-[18F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography-computed tomographic (FDG-PET-CT) scan (a) and 11C-Pittsburgh compound B (PiB)-PET-CT scan (b) in the same patient with AD. c–h Correlations between standardized uptake value ratios (SUVRs) of FDG-PET scans and SUVRs of PiB-PET scans of representative brain regions in patients with AD. No significant correlations were found (n = 23, all P > 0.05)
