Decrease in 18F-Florbetapir Accumulation in the Cerebral Hemisphere With Hypoperfusion and Misery Perfusion Due to Chronic Atherosclerotic Occlusion of the Internal Carotid Artery.
A 67-year-old man had a slowly progressing impairment of recent memory. Cerebral angiography showed atherosclerotic occlusion of the right internal carotid artery with insufficient collateral circulation. Positron emission tomography (PET) using O2 gas showed reduced cerebral blood flow, reduced cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen, and elevated oxygen extraction fraction in the precentral region of the right cerebral hemisphere. Use of F-florbetapir PET depicted amyloid β deposition as decreased tracer uptake in the precentral region in the right cerebral hemisphere when compared with the contralateral hemisphere.
