\subsection{Hypometabolism on FDG-PET}
Cerebral metabolic rate of glucose can be measured by PET
scan using the tracer fluorine-18 (F-18) fluorodeoxyglucose
(FDG) has (FDG).
In AD, the reductions in cerebral metabolism is well established and is one of the two biomarkers targeting neurodegeneration.
The glucose metabolism measures with FDG-PET scan have been
widely used
with good accuracy to
perform distinguish AD from both NCs and other dementias\cite{Mosconi_2007,Ballard_2011}.
FDG-PET
scan of the brain that measures the cerebral metabolic rate of glucose. has also been used to predict MCI to AD converters with better accuracy than structural MRI \cite{Yuan_2008}.
