No study used DTI, MEG, MRS or histological observations to explore any modality of lack of insight in FTD.
8 studies (88.89%) used MRI [Amanzio et al. (2016), Hornberger et al. (2014), Levy et al. (2018), Massimo et al. (2013), Rosen et al. (2010), Shany-Ur et al. (2014), Sollberger et al. (2014) and Zamboni et al. (2010)] and 1 (11.11%) used CT [Ichikawa et al. (2013)).
All studies used either PET or SPECT [Bastin et al. (2012), McMurtray et al. (2006), Mendez and Shapira (2005), Miller et al. (1997) and Ruby et al. (2007)].
1 study used structural MRI, EEG and resting state functional MRI [Garcia-Cordero et al. (2016)].
