Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The results of the PET imaging data and the clinical diagnosis are used in a multimodal, multitracer and multivariate analysis approach to demonstrate regional and voxelwise correlations between FDG PET and PIB PET. SSM/PCA will be applied using software written in-house, based on method of Eidelberg research group (14) with a univariate and multivariate analyis method. Outcome is measured in so-called z-scores. | — |
