  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. Head to head comparison of [18F] AV-1451 and [18F] THK5351 for tau imaging in Alzheimer's disease and frontotemporal dementia

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. European journal of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging 2017-11-16 Brain scans and imaging

    AV-1451 is more sensitive and specific to Alzheimer's disease type tau and shows lower off-target binding, while THK5351 may mirror non-specific neurodegeneration.

  3. Tau positron emission tomography using [18F]THK5351 and cerebral glucose hypometabolism in Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 45 out of 100. Neurobiology of aging 2017-08-12 Brain scans and imaging

    This study aims to evaluate the clinical validity of [ 18 F]THK5351 positron emission tomography (PET) for the assessment of disease progression and symptoms in Alzheimer's disease (AD).
