  • These locations were derived from normalised brain perfusion, as measured by 99mTc-HMPAO SPECT. The map reflects regions with significantly lower perfusion in 10 patients with Alzheimer's disease who had significantly more delusions and hallucinations compared with 10 patients with Alzheimer's disease who were matched demographically and across all other behaviours measured by the NPI.
