Dementia with Lewy Bodies

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Dementia with Lewy bodies is a progressive neurodegenerative α-synucleinopathy and the third most common cause of dementia, after Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia. Early diagnosis is useful for prognostic and therapeutic considerations, and imaging plays an important role in excluding alternative diagnoses and confirming presence of Lewy body pathology. Specific imaging ligands are also being developed to aid in further elucidation of disease pathophysiology and characterization.
