EnglishObjective: To compare the diagnostic value of striatal 123I-2β-carbomethoxy-3β-(4-iodophenyl)-N-(3-fluoropropyl) nortropane (123I-FP-CIT) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine (123I-MIBG) myocardial scintigraphy in differentiating dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) from other dementia types. Methods: This prospective longitudinal study included 30 patients with a clinical diagnosis of DLB and 29 patients with non-DLB dementia (Alzheimer disease, n = 16; behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia, n = 13). All patients underwent 123I-FP-CIT SPECT and 123I-MIBG myocardial scintigraphy within a few weeks of clinical diagnosis. All diagnoses at each center were agreed upon by the local clinician and an independent expert, both unaware of imaging data, and re-evaluated after 12 months. Each image was visually classified as either normal or abnormal by 3 independent nuclear physicians blinded to patients' clinical data. Results: Overall, sensitivity and specificity to DLB were respectively 93% and 100% for 123I-MIBG myocardial scintigraphy, and 90% and 76% for 123I-FP-CIT SPECT. Lower specificity of striatal compared to myocardial imaging was due to decreased 123I-FP-CIT uptake in 7 non-DLB subjects (3 with concomitant parkinsonism) who had normal 123I-MIBG myocardial uptake. Notably, in our non-DLB group, myocardial imaging gave no false-positive readings even in those subjects (n = 7) with concurrent medical illnesses (diabetes and/or heart disease) supposed to potentially interfere with 123I-MIBG uptake. Interpretation: 123I-FP-CIT SPECT and 123I-MIBG myocardial scintigraphy have similar sensitivity for detecting DLB, but the latter appears to be more specific for excluding non-DLB dementias, especially when parkinsonism is the only “core feature” exhibited by the patient. Our data also indicate that the potential confounding effects of diabetes and heart disease on 123I-MIBG myocardial scintigraphy results might have been overestimated. Ann Neurol 2016;80:368–378.
