Amyloid PET Imaging : Standard Procedures and Semiquantification

Amyloid plaques are a neuropathologic hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD), which can be imaged through positron emission tomography (PET) technology using radiopharmaceuticals that selectively bind to the fibrillar aggregates of amyloid-β plaques (Amy-PET). Several radiotracers for amyloid PET have been validated (11C-Pittsburgh compound B and the 18F-labeled compounds such as 18F-florbetaben, 18F-florbetapir, and 18F-flutemetamol). Images can be interpreted by means of visual/qualitative, semiquantitative, and quantitative criteria. Here, we summarize the main differences between the available radiotracers for Amy-PET, the proposed interpretation criteria, and main proposed quantification methods.
