Abstract
A method of diagnosing Alzheimer's disease using a positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) image may include generating a standard brain CT template in a Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) region based on a CT image calculated from a PET-CT apparatus, calculating a whole cortex volume of interest (VOI) for a plurality of detail regions capable of being used inF-florbetaben (FBB) andF-flutemetamol (FMM) in common within a cortex ROI region in which a deposition of beta amyloid protein is equal to or higher than a given value based on the standard brain CT template, and calculating a centiloid of each of the plurality of detail regions based on an amyloid standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) of each of the plurality of detail regions.
