Objective The analysis of 99mTc-ECD single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images using the easy Z-score imaging system (eZIS) program is useful for the diagnosis of early AD in daily medical practice. However, it remains unclear whether eZIS analysis can identify the amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) subjects with brain amyloid-β deposition. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of an eZIS analysis for predicting amnestic MCI subjects with brain amyloid β deposition.Patients and Methods Twenty-three subjects with MCI (10 men and 13 women, mean age; 74.2 years) underwent brain perfusion SPECT and PiB-PET. MCI subjects were classified into PiB-positive and PiB-negative subgroups. SPECT data was analyzed using the Specific Volume of interest Analysis of the eZIS program. Three indicators (severity, extent, and ratio) were calculated automatically and compared between the two subgroups.
