Summary

This study looks at whether a special brain scan called FDG-PET can help doctors diagnose autoimmune encephalitis, a condition where the immune system attacks the brain. Researchers will compare scans from 90 patients with the disease to scans from healthy people and those with Alzheimer's. The goal is to find a unique brain activity pattern that could lead to faster and more accurate diagnosis.
