Brain glucose metabolism imaging

Neuropsychological activity is accompanied by energy metabolism, so FDG-PET imaging can be used to study the physiological function and pathological state of the human brain. The application of cerebral glucose metabolism imaging has made it possible for the first time in human history to be observed non-traumatically in sight and hearing. Changes in the local brain glucose metabolism rate (LCMRGlu) of the corresponding specific functional areas of the central nervous system under behaviors, thinking, memory and other mental activities, and schizophrenia, bipolar depression, unipolar depression, dementia, Huntington dance Characteristics of LCMRGlu in neuropsychiatric diseases such as disease and Parkinson's disease, and the application value of cerebral glucose metabolism imaging in the nervous system has gradually been recognized by clinical and scientific researchers.
