대한영상의학회 진료지침위원회는 기존의 2016년 진료지침을 개정하여 '주사용 요오드화 조영제 및 MRI용 가돌리늄 조영제 유해 반응에 대한 한국 임상진료지침: 개정된 임상적 합의 및 권고안(2022년 제3판)'을 제작하였다. 대한영상의학회와 대한천식알레르기학회, 대한신장학회에세 추천 및 승인된 전문가 위원들이 함께 참여하였고, 전문가 합의 또는 체계적 문헌 고찰을 기반으로, 조영제를 사용 시 감염관리를 위한 자동주입기 및 연결선에 대한 기술과 요요드화 조영제에 대한 급성 유해반응 및 신장 유해반응에 대한 내용들을 수정 및 추가하였다. 이에 개정된 내용을 소개하고자 한다.

Background and Purpose: Dementia subtypes, including Alzheimer's dementia (AD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), pose diagnostic challenges. This review examines the effectiveness of ¹⁸F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography (¹⁸F-FDG PET) in differentiating these subtypes for precise treatment and management. Methods: A systematic review following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines was conducted using databases like PubMed and Embase to identify studies on the diagnostic utility of ¹⁸F-FDG PET in dementia. The search included studies up to November 16, 2022, focusing on peer-reviewed journals and applying the goldstandard clinical diagnosis for dementia subtypes. Results: From 12,815 articles, 14 were selected for final analysis. For AD versus FTD, the sensitivity was 0.96 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.88-0.98) and specificity was 0.84 (95% CI, 0.70-0.92). In the case of AD versus DLB, ¹⁸F-FDG PET showed a sensitivity of 0.93 (95% CI 0.88-0.98) and specificity of 0.92 (95% CI, 0.70-0.92). Lastly, when differentiating AD from non-AD dementias, the sensitivity was 0.86 (95% CI, 0.80-0.91) and the specificity was 0.88 (95% CI, 0.80-0.91). The studies mostly used case-control designs with visual and quantitative assessments. Conclusions: ¹⁸F-FDG PET exhibits high sensitivity and specificity in differentiating dementia subtypes, particularly AD, FTD, and DLB. This method, while not a standalone diagnostic tool, significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy in uncertain cases, complementing clinical assessments and structural imaging.
