摘要

Abstract [18F] fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET and MRI are key imaging markers for neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease. It has been well established that parieto-temporal hypometabolism on FDG-PET is closely associated with medial temporal atrophy on MRI in Alzheimer's disease. Substantial biological heterogeneity, expressed as distinct subtypes of hypometabolism or atrophy patterns, has been previously described in Alzheimer's disease using data-driven and hypothesis-driven methods. However, the link between these two imaging modalities has not yet been explored in the context of Alzheimer's disease subtypes. To investigate this link, the current study utilised FDG-PET and MRI scans from 180 amyloid-beta positive Alzheimer's disease dementia patients, 339 amyloid-beta positive mild cognitive impairment and 176 amyloid-beta negative cognitively normal controls from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). Random forest hierarchical clustering, a data-driven model for identifying subtypes, was implemented in the two modalities: one with standard uptake value ratios and the other with grey matter volumes. Five hypometabolism- and atrophy-based subtypes were identified, exhibiting both cortical-predominant and limbic-predominant patterns although with differing percentages and clinical presentations. Three cortical-predominant hypometabolism subtypes found were: Cortical Predominant (32%), Cortical Predominant+ (11%), Cortical Predominant posterior (8%); and two limbic-predominant hypometabolism subtypes: Limbic Predominant (36%) and Limbic Predominant frontal (13%). In addition, little atrophy (minimal) and widespread (diffuse) neurodegeneration subtypes were observed from the MRI data. The five atrophy subtypes were found: Cortical Predominant (19%), Limbic Predominant (27%), Diffuse (29%), Diffuse+ (6%) and Minimal (19%). Inter-modality comparisons showed that all FDG-PET subtypes displayed medial temporal atrophy, whereas the distinct MRI subtypes showed topographically similar hypometabolic patterns. Further, allocations of FDG-PET and MRI subtypes were not consistent when compared at an individual-level. Additional analysis comparing the data-driven clustering model with prior hypothesis-driven methods showed only partial agreement between these subtyping methods. FDG-PET subtypes had greater differences between limbic-predominant and cortical-predominant patterns and MRI subtypes had greater differences in severity of atrophy. In conclusion, this study highlighted that Alzheimer's disease subtypes identified using both FDG-PET and MRI capture distinct pathways showing cortical- versus limbic-predominance of neurodegeneration. However, the subtypes do not share a bidirectional relationship between modalities and are thus not interchangeable.
