External Validation of Joint Propagation Model‐Based Tau PET CenTauR units
Alexis Moscoso, Antoine Leuzy, Lars Lau Raket, Victor L. Villemagne, Gregory Klein, Matteo Tonietto, Emily Olafson, Suzanne L. Baker et al.. Alzheimer s & Dementia, 2025-12-01
Topic: Brain proteins, microglia and lab models
Result A cut‐off of 18 CenTauRs was found to optimally classify [ 18 F]flortaucipir PET visual reads (Figure 1B). Conclusion These analyses suggest that CenTauR harmonization increases the comparability of tau‐PET data acquired with different tracers.
Key findings
- Result A cut‐off of 18 CenTauRs was found to optimally classify [ 18 F]flortaucipir PET visual reads (Figure 1B).
- Conclusion These analyses suggest that CenTauR harmonization increases the comparability of tau‐PET data acquired with different tracers.
Why it matters
This study found that a cut-off of 18 CenTauRs best classified visual reads of flortaucipir tau PET scans. The results suggest that CenTauR harmonization improves the comparability of tau PET data collected with different tracers.
