Comparison of imaging using 11C-ITMM and 18F-FDG for the detection of cerebellar ataxia

This study showed that mGluR1 imaging was comparable to 18F-FDG imaging in the cerebellum. However, mGluR1 imaging was more strongly associated with the SARA scores than 18F-FDG imaging was, suggesting that mGluR1 imaging can be a more specific technique than 18F-FDG imaging for evaluating cerebellar ataxia.
