Article Synopsis
  • Positron Emission Tomography (PET) can visualize fibrillar β-amyloid, which is important for assessing Alzheimer's Disease (AD), but merely detecting amyloid plaques isn't enough for a definitive diagnosis.
  • The study grouped 144 patients into high and low pre-test probability categories based on clinical diagnoses related to AD, examining the prevalence of amyloid findings in different dementia syndromes.
  • Results indicated that only normal controls and Dementia of Alzheimer's Type showed consistent diagnostic results, while other conditions like MCI and Frontotemporal Dementia displayed significant discrepancies between clinical evaluations and molecular imaging outcomes.
