目的研究 18F-FDG PET显像诊断记忆障碍患者中阿尔茨海默病(AD)的效能。
方法回顾性收集2019年8月至2023年9月上海交通大学医学院附属仁济医院96例初始诊断为记忆障碍的患者[男40例、女56例,年龄69.0(62.8,74.0)岁]。以 18F-AV45+ 18F-PI-2620 PET/CT+MRI显像结果为AD诊断的淀粉样蛋白、tau、神经变性(ATN)标准,应用视觉评估[颞、顶叶均代谢减低或后扣带回(PCC)代谢减低]和软件半定量分析[PET-SCORE和NeuroQ软件SUV比值(SUVR)]评价 18F-FDG PET显像在AD患者中的诊断效能。用 χ 2检验比较视觉评估和半定量参数的诊断效能,并对PET-SCORE与认知量表评分进行Pearson相关分析。
结果96例患者中,最终临床诊断为AD 61例,非AD 35例。 18F-FDG PET显像颞、顶叶视觉评估的诊断灵敏度最高[91.80%(56/61)],与PET-SCORE[40.98%(25/61); χ 2=29.03, P<0.001]、PCC视觉评估[77.05%(47/61); χ 2=5.82, P=0.016]差异有统计学意义;而PET-SCORE的诊断特异性最高[100%(35/35)],与视觉评估的特异性[颞、顶叶均代谢减低:17.14%(6/35), χ 2=27.03, P<0.001;PCC代谢减低:54.29%(19/35), χ 2=14.06, P<0.001]差异有统计学意义。PET-SCORE与患者简易精神状态检查量表(MMSE)、蒙特利尔认知评价量表(MoCA)、日常生活活动能力量表(ADL)评分之间存在相关性( r值:-0.38、-0.36、0.31,均 P<0.01)。
结论在初始诊断为记忆障碍的患者中, 18F-FDG PET图像视觉评估具有较高的AD诊断灵敏度,半定量分析PET-SCORE具有较高的特异性。PET-SCORE与反映患者认知下降严重程度的量表评分相关。
ObjectiveTo assess the diagnostic efficiency of 18F-FDG PET for Alzheimer′s disease (AD) in patients with memory impairment.
MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 96 patients (40 males, 56 females, age: 69.0(62.8, 74.0) years) initially diagnosed with memory impairment in Renji Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University between August 2019 and September 2023. The amyloid-tau-neurodegeneration (ATN) criteria, based on 18F-AV45+ 18F-PI-2620 PET/CT+ MRI imaging results, were used as the diagnostic standard for AD. Visual analysis (temporoparietal or posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) hypometabolism) and semi-quantitative analysis methods (PET-SCORE and NeuroQ software analysis (SUV ratio, SUVR)) were applied to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of 18F-FDG PET imaging for AD. Diagnostic efficiencies of visual assessment and semi-quantitative parameters were compared by χ 2 test. Additionally, Pearson correlation analysis was performed to examine the relationship between results of PET-SCORE and cognitive scales.
ResultsOf the 96 patients initially diagnosed with memory impairment, 61 were clinically diagnosed with AD, while 35 were non-AD patients. Visual assessment of temporoparietal hypometabolism showed the highest sensitivity (91.80%, 56/61), which was significantly different from the sensitivities of PET-SCORE (40.98%(25/61); χ 2=29.03, P<0.001) and visual assessment of PCC hypometabolism (77.05%(47/61); χ 2=5.82, P=0.016). While semi-quantitative assessment using PET-SCORE demonstrated the highest specificity (100%, 35/35), which was significantly different from the specificities of visual assessment methods (temporoparietal hypometabolism: 17.14%(6/35), χ 2=27.03, P<0.001; PCC hypometabolism: 54.29%(19/35), χ 2=14.06, P<0.001). PET-SCORE exhibited statistically significant correlations with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) scores ( r values: -0.38, -0.36, 0.31, all P<0.01).
ConclusionsAmong patients initially diagnosed with memory impairment, visual assessment in 18F-FDG PET imaging analysis demonstrates higher sensitivity, while semi-quantitative analysis using PET-SCORE exhibits higher specificity. PET-SCORE shows statistically significant correlation with the severity of cognitive decline.
