SUVRs of the five VOIs for each of the three pathological groups and their normal controls (NC). Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) may develop in the order of PMD, asymptomatic ventriculomegaly with features of iNPH on MRI (AVIM) and iNPH. PMD: asymptomatic subjects with incomplete DESH, AVIM: asymptomatic subjects with complete DESH, iNPH: symptomatic subjects with complete DESH. All NC groups were adjusted to their corresponding pathological groups based on their background data. a and b in the frontal and the temporal lobes, all PMD, AVIM and iNPH groups showed significantly lower SUVRs than that of corresponding NC groups. c in the medial parietal lobes, the PMD and AVIM had significantly higher SUVRs than that of corresponding NC groups. d and e in the thalami and the striata, only the iNPH group showed a significantly lower SUVR than that of the NC group
