¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography findings are not related to cognitive functioning in service members with remote history of mild traumatic brain injury.
Abstract:Objective: Determine whether glucose uptake as measured by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) imaging is associated with cognitive performance and cognitive deficits in active duty service members with a history of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Method: 287 patients with a history of mTBI underwent FDG-PET scans at rest and neuropsychological testing at the National Intrepid Center of Excellence at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Glucose uptake in the bilateral fro… Show more
