Réunion Annuelle de l’ACMN/CANM Annual MeetingMontréal - 2015
There will be 15 cases to review.
All were sent for evaluation of a potential neurodegenerative condition (no epilepsy cases)
All have received a consensus clinical diagnosisbases on clinical presentation and evolution, imaging protocols, laboratory tests, etc.
Clinical information is presented as received.
Extra-cerebral accidental findings (if there are any)will not be discussed.
All cases will presented in a standard fashion:
1) All will have been co-registered (NOT spatially normalized) to:
a) The MNI_305 template , which comes from …

All cases will presented in a standard fashion:
1) All will have been co-registered (NOT spatially normalized) to:
a) The MNI_305 (avg305) template
b) And to the icbm_avg_152_t1_tal_nlin_symmetric_VI_temporal
All cases will presented in a standard fashion:
1) All will have been co-registered (NOT spatially normalized) to:
a) The MNI_305 (avg305) template
b) And to the icbm_avg_152_t1_tal_nlin_symmetric_VI_tempora
2) All have been processed with Neurostat – 3D-SSP; only the “decreased” window is shown.

2) All have been processed with Neurostat – 3D-SSP; only the “decreased” window is shown.
3) Finally, you will have access to the attenuation correction/localization CT for each scan.
This type of approach represents the minimal level of pre-clinical reading processing that should be performed before interpreting scans!

Coleman, Neuroimaing Clin N Am 2005:
"It is likely that experienced individuals will be better than the computerized methods for detecting the abnormalities on the PET brain scan. In nuclear cardiology, it is shownthat experienced readers are more accurate than the computerized techniques …".
Also: Ebmeier, Adv Biol Psychiatry 2003, discussing such approaches with SPECT:
"SPM improves rater accuracy, especially for less experienced raters".
Which takes us to: Where does SPECT stand in this scheme?
Cerebral 18F-FDG PET certainly is neither available everywhere, nor reimbursed for by every province, whereas SPECT rCBF studies are.
However, SPECT rCBF studies generally significantly underperform as compared to 18F-FDG PET for the diagnosis and classification of neurodegenerative conditions associated with cognitive disorders …

Overall however, NO study has ever found SPECT to be superior to PET in that field (at best equal, but with low PET accuracy), whereas SOME have found the opposite,by a large margin. Therefore, …

which can be modified at will (combined, redefined, …)

For now, we’ll only review 18F-FDG (only clinically available agent)

Have fun reading those studies!I’ll see you again Sunday.
For MOC purposes at the Royal College:
- The introduction and the review sessions should be listed under Section 1 (respectively 30 and 45 minutes of credits)
- The reading session is rated at 1 hour under Section 3, and therefore will give you 4.5 hours of credits
