ABSTRACT
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS),a neurodegenerative disorder,is subtle in disease onset,difficult to diagnose,and fast-growing at progression.There.are at present little specific neurological imaging characteristics of ALS.Functional brain imaging techniques,such as SPECT and PET,were the early tools for investigation of ALS.The application of pixel-based analysis software (such as SPM) renders research in this area more convenient and objective.In recent years,improvement in brain receptor PET imaging has demonstrated its important value in the early diagnosis of ALS and evaluation of cognitive impairment.
