Amyloid imaging provides in vivo detection of the fibrillar amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The positron emission tomography (PET) ligand, Pittsburgh Compound-B (PiB-C11), is the most well studied amyloid imaging agent, but the short half-life of carbon-11 limits its clinical viability. Florbetapir-F18 recently demonstrated in vivo correlation with postmortem Aβ histopathology, but has not been directly compared with PiB-C11.
Fourteen cognitively normal adults and 12 AD patients underwent PiB-C11 and florbetapir-F18 PET scans within a 28-day period.
Both ligands displayed highly significant group discrimination and correlation of regional uptake.
These data support the hypothesis that florbetapir-F18 provides comparable information with PiB-C11.
淀粉样蛋白成像可在体内检测阿尔茨海默病(AD)的纤维状淀粉样-β(Aβ)斑块。正电子发射断层扫描(PET)配体,匹兹堡化合物-B(PiB-C11)是研究最广泛的淀粉样蛋白成像剂,但碳-11 的半衰期短限制了其临床可行性。氟维司群 F18 最近在体内与死后 Aβ 组织病理学显示出相关性,但尚未与 PiB-C11 直接比较。
14 名认知正常的成年人和 12 名 AD 患者在 28 天内接受 PiB-C11 和氟维司群 F18 PET 扫描。
两种配体均显示出高度显著的组间区分和区域摄取的相关性。
这些数据支持氟维司群 F18 可提供与 PiB-C11 相当的信息的假设。
