Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 Brain MRI image of the patient taken in October 2015. (A) Axial FLAIR image, (B) axial T1-weighted image, and (C) coronal-oblique T1-weighted image. MRI: magnetic resonance imaging, FLAIR: fluid-attenuated inversion recovery.

• 

  Fig. 2 FDG-PET image of the patient, taken in December 2015. (A, B) Axial FDG-PET images each in different planes. FDG: fluorodeoxyglucose, PET: positron emission tomography.

• 

  Fig. 3 Amyloid-PET image of the patient taken in December 2015, showing extended uptake to the cortical gray matter. (A) Axial image and (B) coronal image. PET: positron emission tomography.
