Brain PET is crucial in the diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders, especially frontotemporal dementia (FTD) due to its complex presentation and constellation of symptoms that overlap with a variety of other neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. 18F-FDG-PET has superior sensitivity and specificity compared to structural MRI, with optimal diagnostic results achieved when the two imaging techniques are in tandem. PET has demonstrated improved sensitivity compared to SPECT for FTD diagnosis and is primarily a supplement to other imaging and clinical information. Tau-PET and Amyloid-PET’s primary use in FTD diagnosis is differentiation from Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) although these methods are limited primarily to research settings. A critical need exists for novel PET radiotracers designed for FTD with potential targets that include TAR DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43).
