Contribution of PET studies in diagnosis of corticobasal degeneration.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Cortical microinfarcts (CoMIs) are considered as barely visible lesions in clinical-neuroradiological correlation studies. On postmortem 7.0-tesla MRI, however, CoMIs of different size are easily detected. SUMMARY:The present MRI study investigates 84 postmortem brains with different neurodegenerative disea...
