Single photon emission computed tomography in motor neuron disease with dementia

Neuroradiology. 1988;30(6):577-8. doi: 10.1007/BF00339706.

Abstract

Single photon emission computed tomography with [123 I] isopropylamphetamine was carried out on a patient with motor neuron disease with dementia. [123 I] uptake was decreased in the frontal lobes. This would reflect the histopathological findings such as neuronal loss and gliosis in the frontal lobes.
