  1. Genome-wide association study of brain amyloid deposition as measured by Pittsburgh Compound-B (PiB)-PET imaging

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 84 out of 100. Molecular psychiatry 2018-10-25 Genetics

    Deposition of amyloid plaques in the brain is one of the two main pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

  2. Concordance between cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers and [11C]PIB PET in a memory clinic cohort

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Journal of Alzheimer's disease : JAD 2014-01-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Concordance between CSF Aβ42 and [11C]PIB PET was good in all diagnostic groups.

  3. Regional analysis of FDG and PIB-PET images in normal aging, mild cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 40 out of 100. European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging 2008-06-20 Brain scans and imaging

    For AD, the pattern of regional involvement for FDG and PIB differ, but both techniques show high diagnostic accuracy and 94% case by case agreement.

  4. Evaluation of voxel-based methods for the statistical analysis of PIB PET amyloid imaging studies in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 52 out of 100. NeuroImage 2006-08-14 Treatments

    Deposition of amyloid plaques is believed to be a central event in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD).
