MRI studies reported that ALS patients with bulbar and spinal onset showed focal cortical changes in corresponding regions of the motor homunculus. We evaluated the capability of brain 2-[18F]FDG-PET to disclose the metabolic features characterizing patients with pure bulbar or spinal motor impairment.

Abstract
MRI studies reported that ALS patients with bulbar and spinal onset showed focal cortical changes in corresponding regions of the motor homunculus. We evaluated the capability of brain 2-[18F]FDG-PET to disclose the metabolic features characterizing patients with pure bulbar or spinal motor impairment.
