"significant bilateral hypometabolism of posterior cingulate gyrus" can be found when evaluating a patient for decreased mental function related to aging. Follow up studies can detect amyloid deposits, which can help confirm a clinical diagnosis.

The PET scan evaluates brain metabolic functioning, and if the results indicate hypometabolism, this confirms the presence of abnormal brain activity which can correlate with clinical disease diagnoses.
