Comparison between visual and SPM analysis of 18F-FDG PET images. (a) Hypermetabolism in bilateral frontal lobes (solid arrow) was detected by both visual and SPM analysis. (b) Hypometabolism in left temporal lobe (solid arrow) was detected by both visual and SPM analysis. (c) Hypometabolism was found in left rolandic area (dashed arrow) by visual assessment, and hypermetabolic region was further identified in right rolandic area (solid arrow) by SPM analysis. (d) Hypometabolic region undetected by visual assessment was identified in left mesial temporal lobe (solid arrow) by SPM analysis. (This research was originally published in Y.
