Having some mild cognitive impairment trying to remember dementia... patterns on imaging? Is looking at dementia PET scans one of your PET peeves? Have short-term memory loss when you read about dementia imaging? Here’s a way to remember dementia patterns so you will never forget! Major dementia imaging patterns: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) —AD has a Nike swoosh pattern—with decreased metabolism in parietal & temporal regions —Remember when you see the Nike swoosh patter, just call it! Dementia w/Lewy Bodies (DLB) —Temporoparietal hypometabolism like AD but also involves occipital cortex, specific for DLB. —DLB also extends farther to the ant. temporal cortex. —Remember, regions of hypometabolism look more like an L. And Lewy starts w/an L Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) —Frontal & temporal hypometabolism as expected, but extends along the anterior cingulate gyrus —Anterior cingulate involvement makes the hypometabolism looks like a lowercase letter f—and frontotemporal starts with f Posterior cortical atrophy —Can be from AD or DLB & has hypometabolism in the occipital & post. temporal lobe, sparing the anterior temporal lobe —Sparing the anterior temporal lobe makes the involvement look like a C instead of an L like DLB. —So remember pCa Vascular dementia —Vascular dementia has a variable distribution, depending on the regions infarcted (V is both for Vascular & Variable) —Wedged shaped regions of hypometabolism corresponding to cortical infarcts—looks like an inverted V This list isn’t all inclusive & there can be variations or even mixed dementias But hopefully this gives you a starting point you won’t soon forget!show more

Bruce Willis Update: Wife Emma Clarifies Key Misconception About... His Dementia Emma Heming Willis addressed a major misconception about her husband Bruce Willis’ condition during a recent podcast appearance. The Die Hard star, 71, was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) — a rare brain disorder affecting the frontal and temporal lobes. Key detail: Bruce has the language variant of FTD (one of three main variants). This primarily impacts speech and language abilities, but does NOT affect memory. Emma emphasized: “He does [remember who you are] because he doesn’t have Alzheimer’s; he has FTD.” He knows his family, including his five daughters. I’m glad he still has his memories. He’s still there it’s just harder to communicate with him. FTD is the most common form of dementia for people under 60, and while there’s no cure, the family continues raising awareness. Prayers for Bruce and his loved ones during this challenging time. 💙 (Video: AI)show more

Think you’ve got the diagnosis? Think again!! This is... a case where the diagnosis is not as important as the lesson it teaches you. Watch the video and then check back for hidden portion of this post to see what the answer is... And what lesson you should have learned from it ! Avidly enhancing T2 dark lesions in the subependymal region with increased diffusion signal. If I said that description to you—even without seeing the images—you would say lymphoma! Was that your answer? It was mine! And we are both wrong! It turned out to be metastatic melanoma. But the lesson here is that just because you were wrong by pathology, doesn’t mean you were wrong on the imaging If I saw a case like this again, I would still say lymphoma! You won’t be right every time—there will be weird cases. But you are making a bet on the imaging appearance and you should always bet the odds—with the risk that every now and then you might be wrong! So don’t remember from this case that metastases can look like lymphoma—remember that sometimes it’s ok to be wrong as long as you read the case rightshow more
