123I-FP-CIT SPECT validation of nigro-putaminal MRI tractography in dementia with Lewy bodies

Abstract Background Assessment of nigrostriatal degeneration is a key element to discriminate between dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Alzheimer disease (AD), and it is often evaluated using ioflupane (123I-FP-CIT) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Given the limited availability...
