Overview
CT scan mainly helps in excluding an alternative diagnosis and is generally normal in CJD.
CT Scan
Rapidly progressive ventricular enlargement and cortical atrophy have been shown to be present in CJD on serial CT scans.[1]
PET Scan
Abnormalities in thalamic region have been shown to be present on PET scan in thalamic MM2 subtype of CJD, however, its significance in diagnosis has not been extablished yet.[2][3]
