Description
Taylor J Solomon and co-authors set out a plan for a review of brain scan markers in frontotemporal dementia, in a 2025 protocol paper. The disease is hard to diagnose because symptoms, gene faults, and brain changes vary a lot. No single test can yet confirm the type or stage with confidence.
The planned review will pool studies that use scans of brain volume and scans of sugar use in the brain. It asks whether scan patterns can split patients from healthy people, split inherited from non-inherited cases, and split the two main protein types behind the disease. Searches will cover three major databases, with two reviewers screening each study. The protocol is registered, and results will be shared in a peer-reviewed journal.
