Temporal impact of cortical hypometabolism (FDG-PET) and cortical thickness degeneration (volumetric MRI) in the AD, MCI-C and MCI-NC groups. (A) Data from the first 2 years of follow-up represents the initial stage of disease. (B) Pooled data from the entire follow-up period (mean: 6.6 ± 3.8 years) represents the disease progression stage. The circles indicate the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Significance was set at a vertex-wise threshold of 3.0. Abbreviation: MCI-NC, non-converter of mild cognitive impairment; MCI-C, converter of mild cognitive impairment; AD, Alzheimer’s disease; MRI, magnetic resonance imaging
