    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by brain accumulation of toxic protein aggregates, including extracellular amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques, inflammation, neuronal death and progressive cognitive dysfunction.

  3. Assessment of beta-amyloid in a frontal cortical brain biopsy specimen and by positron emission tomography with carbon 11-labeled Pittsburgh Compound B

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. Archives of neurology 2008-08-11 Brain scans and imaging

    Our study supports the use of noninvasive [11C]PiB PET in the assessment of Abeta deposition in the brain.
