FDG-PET showed slightly higher AUC and sensitivity compared to ASL-MRI for diagnosing Alzheimer's and MCI.
Meta-analysis of seven studies revealed FDG-PET had AUC 0.864, while ASL-MRI had AUC 0.836, indicating comparable performance.
Systematic review followed PRISMA guidelines for data collection from multiple databases, ensuring a rigorous selection process.
Finding suggests that while both imaging methods are effective, cost and availability may guide clinical choices in practice.
