FDG-PET can reveal functional loss in regions that still appear structurally preserved on MRI. FDG-PET hypometabolism patterns can help discriminate between FTD syndromes such as bvFTD and PPA. FDG-PET has not been established as reliable for differentiating tau from TDP-43 neuropathology. FDG-PET measures cerebral glucose metabolism and is used as a complementary tool when FTD is clinically suspected.
