ACR-ACNM-ASNR-SNMMI Practice Parameter for the Performance of Brain PET/CT Imaging in Dementia

This practice parameter was revised collaboratively by the American College of Radiology (ACR), the American College of Nuclear Medicine (ACNM), the American Society for Neuroradiology (ASNR), and the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (SNMMI).This important update now includes all FDA approved agents for PET imaging of dementia and reflects the expanding role of PET imaging for the early and more accurate diagnostic characterization of the neurodegenerative processes underlying cognitive deterioration. Clinical indications, personnel qualifications, and technical specifications are discussed in this practice parameter.
