  1. Involvement of the Precuneus/Posterior Cingulate Cortex Is Significant for the Development of Alzheimer's Disease: A PET (THK5351, PiB) and Resting fMRI Study

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. Frontiers in aging neuroscience 2018-10-05 Brain scans and imaging

    SSM/PCA identified a significant spatial THK5351 pattern composed by mainly three clusters including precuneus/posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), right and left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) which accounted for 23.6% of the total subject voxel variance of the data and had 82.6% sensitivity and 79.1% specificity in discriminating AD from healthy controls.

  2. Comparison of MR-less PiB SUVR quantification methods

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 48 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2014-08-27 Brain scans and imaging

    (11)C-Pittsburgh compound B (PiB) is a positron emission tomography (PET) tracer designed to bind to amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques, one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  3. Early detection of Alzheimer's disease using PiB and FDG PET

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Neurobiology of disease 2014-05-10 Brain scans and imaging

    Use of biomarkers in the detection of early and preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD) has become of central importance following publication of the NIA-Alzheimer's Association revised criteria for the diagnosis of AD, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and preclinical AD.
