2 Today Introduction to CT Introduction to MRI Introduction to nuclear medicine Imaging the dementias

3 The Brain ~ 1.5 kg (3lbs) Fatty organ (60%) Consistency of soft tofu It takes 5 parts of the brain to laugh at a joke

4 Brain Priorities The jockstrap was invented in 1874 NHL made helmets mandatory in 1979

5 Introduction to CT Computerized Tomography Computerized Axial Tomography

6

7 Advantages Very common Very fast

8 Disadvantages Ionizing radiation involved (lots) Primarily anatomic structures Very limited functional imaging Limited differentation between body structures

9

10

11 Introduction to MRI Magnetic Resonance Imaging Images from magnetic fields and radiowaves No ionizing radiation

12

13

14

15 Advantages High resolution Good contrast Great flexibility and potential No ionizing radiation

16 Disadvantages Long imaging time No movement Claustrophobia Expensive to buy and maintain Large, powerful magnets

17 Nuclear medicine Imaging modality Radioactive tracers Physiology vs anatomy

18 Brain SPECT Brain perfusion Activity proportional to blood flow Blood flow proportional to use SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computarized Tomography) allows different planes or slices

19

20

21

22 Disadvantages Lack of surrounding structures Moderately long imaging time Similar appearance to different pathologies

23

24

25 Right MCA Stroke

26 Large sulci causing perfusion defects

27

28

29 Best of Both Worlds Combine functional imaging with anatomic imaging Studies interpreted together (We need new software and equipment!)

30 Why do want to recognize dementia on imaging?

31 Leading Causes of Death 2014 United States Number of deaths for leading causes of death Heart disease: 596,577 Cancer: 576,691 Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 142,943 Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 128,932 Accidents (unintentional injuries): 126,438 Alzheimer's disease: 84,974 Diabetes: 73,831

32

33

34 Alzheimer s? Depression? Change in mood or personality Withdrawal from work or social Completing familiar tasks Memory loss disrupting daily life Changes in planning or solving problems Change in mood or personality Withdrawal from work or social Completing familiar tasks Memory loss disrupting daily life Changes in planning or solving problems

35 The Dementias Alzheimer s Disease 70% Vascular Dementia 20% Dementia with Lewy bodies Fronto Temporal Dementia Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Dementia from movement disorders

36 Where are we today when looking at dementia? CT & MRI for anatomic imaging SPECT for functional imaging

37 Alzheimer s Dementia CT & MRI Imaging Atrophy in: Parietal lobe Posterior cingulate gyrus Inferior frontal lobe entorhinal and hippocampal cortex

38 Normal vs atrophy

39 Parietal and Posterior Cingulate Atrophy

40 Atrophy of hippocampus

41 However 50% of normal controls also had atrophy in same distribution The British Journal of Radiology, 1993, 66, 23-27, Wyper,D. et al,

42 Alzheimer s Dementia CT & MRI Imaging Hippocampal atrophy most accurate for Alzheimer s Rate of hippocampal atrophy more accurate than cortical measurement alone

43 Alzheimer s Dementia SPECT Imaging Decreased perfusion posterior parietal temporal lobes, posterior cingulate cortex and inferior frontal lobes Posterior distribution

44 Typical Alzheimer s Pattern

45

46

47 Alzheimer s Normal

48 Alzheimer s Microscopic Pathology plaques & tangles Intracellular Tau protein (neurofibrillary tangles) deposits Extracellular beta amyloid plaques

49 Future Alzheimer s Imaging Now, imaging of function Direct imaging of beta amyloid

50 New Alzheimer s Imaging PET compounds 11 C PIB 18 F - florbetapir (Amyvid)

51 11 C PIB Imaging

52

53 Uses of Amyloid Imaging Confirmation of diagnosis Identify patients at risk Use in drug trials

54 Controversies with Amyloid imaging Lack of available treatment Insurance eligibility Social stigma Psychological impact

55 Multi Infarct Dementia CT & MRI Imaging Old and new infarcts Burden of small vessel ischemic disease with FLAIR Presence of hemosiderin deposits relating vascular risk factors, lacune infarcts and small vessel ischemia

56 Multi Infarct Dementia brain SPECT Variable distribution of perfusion defects Sensitivity much less than CT or MRI

57 Large Infarcts on CT

58 Multiple Infarcts on MRI

59 Multi infarct Dementia

60 Same patient

61 Same patient

62 Large burden of small vessel disease

63 MRI and Small Vessel Ischemic Disease

64 Microhemorrhages on MRI

65 Frontotemporal Dementias (FTD) Atrophy and decreased perfusion in frontal and anterior temporal lobes frontal distribution

66 Frontotemporal Dementias

67 Frontotemporal dementia Normal

68

69 Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) Looks like Parkinson s clinically and pathologically Atrophy striatum, midbrain, hypothalamus Preservation of hippocampus Looks like Alzheimer s on functional imaging Also involvement of occipital lobes

70 DLB AD normal

71 Summary Dementia distribution imaging Alzheimer s Posterior MRI & SPECT Multi infarct Variable MRI FTD Frontal MRI & SPECT DLB Posterior MRI & SPECT

72 Conclusions CT very accessible but limited utility Combined brain SPECT and MRI better PET amyloid imaging best Support the Southlake Foundation!
