Article Synopsis
- Nuclear medicine investigations, particularly PET and SPECT imaging, are crucial in diagnosing dementia by providing functional and molecular brain data that enhance the accuracy of evaluations.
- The collaboration of the Nuclear Medicine Society, Neurological Society, and Thai Medical Physicist Society aims to establish guidelines for effectively integrating nuclear medicine into the diagnosis of neurocognitive disorders.
- These guidelines focus on defining the role of nuclear medicine in dementia diagnosis, helping professionals choose the right procedures, and providing scientific backing for interpreting and reporting findings.

Movement disorders are chronic neurological syndromes with both treatable and non-treatable causes. The top causes of movement disorders are Parkinson's disease and related disorders. Functional imaging investigations with Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) images play vital roles in diagnosis and differential diagnosis to guide disease management.

Proinsulin is a precursor of insulin and its elevated serum levels are associated with peripheral insulin resistance that may reduce brain insulin levels.

Methods: Adult patients (age ≥ 18 years) were prospectively recruited from September 2016 to May 2020 at the authors' center. All patients underwent phase I presurgical evaluation and were subsequently advised to proceed with surgery based on consensus from a multidisciplinary epilepsy conference, without knowing HD-ESI results.
Introduction: Despite the substantial accuracy of plasma p-tau in diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD) in research cohorts, data on real-life memory clinic patients are lacking.
Methods: Memory clinic patients at their early symptomatic stages were prospectively enrolled to undergo routine clinical assessment, plasma p-tau181 quantification (Simoa), amyloid and tau-positron emission tomography (PET). The diagnostic performance of plasma p-tau181, neurocognitive specialists, and regional tau-PET were compared head-to-head using amyloid-PET as the reference standard.
