Further tests for frontotemporal dementia
- if the diagnosis is uncertain and frontotemporal dementia is suspected, use either: FDG-PET or perfusion SPECT.
- do not rule out frontotemporal dementia based solely on the results of structural, perfusion or metabolic imaging tests.
- be aware that frontotemporal dementia has a genetic cause in some people
