YES!! My mom was diagnosed by history and PET scan. I hope that they start using it in the US as well for the diagnosis of LBD and not just PD...not sure I'd have it done for my mom, but it would go SO FAR in increasing the validity of LBD as a separate condition that requires its own treatment modalities, as opposed to the "dementia is dementia is dementia" mindset that is so prevalent in the medical profession today.

Oh I am so interested in this. I work in a long term care facility and just today was working with a man with LBD. It is so tragic and needs an early diagnosis for best treatment. Thank you for sharing this.
