Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterized by significant clinicopathologic heterogeneity. This study aimed to identify distinct ALS phenotypes by integrating brain 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (18 F-FDG PET-CT) metabolic imaging with consensus clustering data. METHODS: This study prospectively enrolled 127...
