Nephroptosis: the Tc-99m glucoheptonate scan as a diagnostic method.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:I-FP-CIT SPECT is increasingly used to differentiate between Alzheimer's dementia (AD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). The role of I-FP-CIT SPECT in frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is rather unclear, albeit nigrostriatal involvement may occur. The aim of this study was to evaluate its role in the differ...
