Brain amyloid imaging.
Imaging of brain β-amyloid plaques with (18)F-labeled tracers for PET will likely be available in clinical practice to assist the diagnosis of Alzheimer disease (AD). With the rapidly growing prevalence of AD as the population ages, and the increasing emphasis on early diagnosis and treatment, brain amyloid imaging is set to become a widely performed investigation. All physicians reading PET sc...
متن کاملAmyloid brain PET imaging
Brain positron emission tomography (PET) has also been used over many years to diagnose neurodegenerative diseases, and has advantages over MRI due to its higher sensitivity to detect pathologies at a molecular level. While 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PETCT is an established imaging technique for assisting in the differential diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other forms of dementia, P...
متن کاملGuidelines for brain amyloid imaging published.
O n January 28, SNMMI and the Alzheimer’s Association published online guidance for appropriate use of PET in brain amyloid imaging in suspected Alzheimer disease (AD). These guidelines, which include the first consensus criteria for PET in AD, appear in the current issue of The Journal of Nuclear Medicine (2013;54: 476–490) and in the February issue of Alzheimer’s & Dementia in an article auth...

متن کاملBrain Amyloid and Inflammation Imaging: A Convergence of Concepts
Molecular imaging in the brain and other organs continues to advance understanding of disease mechanisms, new targets for treatment, and new diagnostic biomarkers. Brain amyloid and inflammation imaging are two areas of intense investigation. Progress in amyloid imaging has resulted in one approved PET tracer and several others in clinical development. Current efforts focus on early treatment w...
