  Fig. 1 The 18F flutemetamol scans showed AD-like positive positivity on axial (A), sagittal (B), and coronal (C) planes. High intensities were seen on frontal (arrow, A), lateral temporal (arrow head, A), precuneus (arrow, B), striatum (arrow head, B), inferior parietal (arrow, C), and posterior cingulate (arrow head, C) regions. The 18F: fluorine-18, AD: Alzheimer's disease.
