  1. Association of in vivo retention of [18f] flortaucipir pet with tau neuropathology in corresponding brain regions

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. Acta neuropathologica 2024-09-19 Brain scans and imaging

    [ 18 F]Flortaucipir is an FDA-approved tau-PET tracer that is increasingly utilized in clinical settings for the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

  2. Relationships Between Cognition and Neuropathological Tau in Alzheimer's Disease Assessed by 18F Flortaucipir PET

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 59 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2021-01-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Flortaucipir SUVr values demonstrated significant inverse correlations with cognitive scores in domain-specific patterns.

  3. Comparison of regional flortaucipir PET with quantitative tau immunohistochemistry in three subjects with Alzheimer's disease pathology: a clinicopathological study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 41 out of 100. EJNMMI research 2020-06-15 Brain scans and imaging

    The results of this pilot study support a quantitative relationship between cortical flortaucipir SUVr values and quantitative measures of Ptau at autopsy.

  4. Regional [18F]flortaucipir PET is more closely associated with disease severity than CSF p-tau in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging 2020-04-14 Brain scans and imaging

    Regional [ 18 F]flortaucipir BP ND correlated stronger with cognition and neurodegeneration than CSF p-tau, suggesting that tau PET more accurately reflects disease severity in AD.

  5. Test-retest repeatability of [18F]Flortaucipir PET in Alzheimer's disease and cognitively normal individuals

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Journal of cerebral blood flow and metabolism : official journal of the International Society of Cerebral Blood Flow and Metabolism 2019-10-01 Brain scans and imaging

    The aim of this study was to investigate the test-retest (TRT) repeatability of various parametric quantification methods for [ 18 F]Flortaucipir positron emission tomography (PET).

  6. Tau Subtypes of Alzheimer's Disease Determined in vivo Using Flortaucipir PET Imaging

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 38 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2019-01-01 Brain scans and imaging

    At autopsy, individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) exhibit heterogeneity in the distribution of neurofibrillary tangles in neocortical and hippocampal regions.
