  Fig. 1 Brain magnetic resonance images. (A) Diffusion weighted image did not show abnormal findings. (B) Apparent diffusion coefficient image did not show abnormal findings. (C) Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery image showed mild periventricular leukoaraiosis. (D) Flutemetamol (18F) PET showed elevated cortical amyloid uptake.PET: positron emission tomography.
