To investigate regional cerebral amyloid beta retention in cognitively normal Korean adults using F-18 florbetaben (FBB).
We prospectively analyzed F-18 FBB positron emission tomography (PET)/CT scans of 30 cognitively healthy adults (age range, 50-70 years) using automated quantification. The standardized uptake value ratios (SUVRs) of F-18 FBB were calculated for predefined regions by normalizing the regional count with cerebellar cortex.
The distribution of amyloid beta for each brain region revealed no age-related trends ( > 0.05). From all subjects, mean SUVR of amyloid deposit was 1.30 ± 0.18. The right parietal lobe showed the highest SUVR value (1.46 ± 0.23), whereas the right frontal lobe and left precuneus showed the lowest SUVR (1.23 ± 0.25).
We provide reference values of normative data obtained from healthy elderly Koreans and suggest its use for accurate diagnosis of patients with Alzheimer's disease.
使用F-18氟贝他宾(FBB)研究认知正常的韩国成年人脑区β淀粉样蛋白的潴留情况。
我们采用自动定量分析方法,对30名认知健康的成年人(年龄范围50 - 70岁)的F-18 FBB正电子发射断层扫描(PET)/CT图像进行了前瞻性分析。通过将各区域计数与小脑皮质进行归一化处理,计算出F-18 FBB在预定义区域的标准化摄取值比率(SUVRs)。
每个脑区β淀粉样蛋白的分布未显示出与年龄相关的趋势(P>0.05)。在所有受试者中,淀粉样蛋白沉积的平均SUVR为1.30±0.18。右侧顶叶的SUVR值最高(1.46±0.23),而右侧额叶和左侧楔前叶的SUVR最低(1.23±0.25)。
我们提供了从健康韩国老年人中获得的规范数据的参考值,并建议将其用于阿尔茨海默病患者的准确诊断。
