Hybrid 2-[18F] FDG PET/MRI in premanifest Huntington's disease gene-expansion carriers: The significance of partial volume correction. by Marie N N Hellem, Tua Vinther-Jensen, Lasse Anderberg, Esben Budtz-Jørgensen, Lena E Hjermind, Vibeke Andrée Larsen, Jørgen E Nielsen, Ian Law

“…Striatal atrophy and hypometabolism has been described in HD as far as 15 years before clinical onset and therefore structural and functional imaging biomarkers are the most applied biomarker modalities which call for these to be exact; however, most studies are not considering the partial volume effect and thereby tend to overestimate metabolic reductions, which may bias imaging outcome measures of interventions.…”
