About this trial

This is an interventional supportive care trial for Dementia With Lewy Bodies (DLB) focused on measuring Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), FDG-PET

Eligibility Criteria

60 Years - 85 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

DLB patients:

  • who fulfill the diagnostic criteria of DLB
  • 60 to 85 years old
  • right-handed
  • Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) ≧ 0.5
  • Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) score from 10 to 26

Normal Controls:

  • MMSE score over 24

Exclusion Criteria:

DLB patients:

  • who have diabetes mellitus
  • who have pathological change on MRI other than brain atrophy
