Description
The aim of this study is to test the contribution of the SPECT of perfusion with hexamethyl propylene amine oxime (H.M.P.A.O.) in the etiologic diagnosis of dementia by comparing the clinical data, tomography and pathology ones at the heart of a patients cohort followed in a center of resources memory and research. The SPECT increases the specificity of the etiologic diagnosis of degenerative dementia. The diagnosis concordance of the clinical and the SPECT corresponds in the most of cases to the certainty diagnosis. (N.C.)
