Journal Article
Riddle, W., O'Carroll, R. E., Dougall, N., Van Beck, M., Murray, C., Curran, S. M., …Goodwin, G. M. (1993). A single photon emission computerised tomography study of regional brain function underlying verbal memory in patients with Alzheimer-type dementia. British Journal of Psychiatry, 163(2), 166-172. doi:10.1192/bjp.163.2.166

Ten patients with Alzheimer-type dementia and nine age-matched normal controls were examined with SPECT, using split-dose 99mTc-labelled exametazime. The baseline condition involved repetition of the word 'yes' or 'no'. The activation condition invol...

The uptake, at rest, of 99mTc-exametazime into different brain regions was compared using SPECT for 20 elderly subjects with major depressive disorder, 20 with Alzheimer-type dementia, and 30 age-matched normal volunteers. Uptake was referred to calc...
