  1. Selecting software pipelines for change in flortaucipir SUVR: Balancing repeatability and group separation

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 67 out of 100. NeuroImage 2021-06-09 Brain scans and imaging

    Since tau PET tracers were introduced, investigators have quantified them using a wide variety of automated methods.

  2. A multicenter comparison of [18F]flortaucipir, [18F]RO948, and [18F]MK6240 tau PET tracers to detect a common target ROI for differential diagnosis

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging 2021-05-27 Brain scans and imaging

    The temporal meta-ROI can be used for differential diagnosis of dementia patients with [ 18 F]flortaucipir, [ 18 F]RO948, and [ 18 F]MK6240 tau PET with high accuracy, and that using very similar cut-offs of around 1.35 SUVR.

  3. Clinical validity of increased cortical uptake of [18F]flortaucipir on PET as a biomarker for Alzheimer's disease in the context of a structured 5-phase biomarker development framework

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 43 out of 100. European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging 2021-02-06 Brain scans and imaging

    Current literature provides partial evidence for clinical utility of [ 18 F]flortaucipir PET.

  4. Association of Initial β-Amyloid Levels With Subsequent Flortaucipir Positron Emission Tomography Changes in Persons Without Cognitive Impairment

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 71 out of 100. JAMA neurology 2021-02-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Substantial flortaucipir accumulation in temporal regions is greatest in persons aged 65 to 85 years who were CU and had high initial Aβ PET levels, compared with those with lower Aβ levels.
