Introduction: Measurement of repeatability and reproducibility (R&R) is necessary to realize the full potential of positron emission tomography (PET). Several studies have evaluated the reproducibility of PET using 18F-FDG, the most common PET tracer used in oncology, but similar studies using other PET tracers are scarce. Even fewer assess agreement and R&R with statistical methods designed explicitly for the task.

NSD is defined by the presence of pathologic n-asyn (S) assessed by a validated in vivo biomarker and ultimate presence of dopaminergic neuronal dysfunction (D). This biologic definition is independent of the presence of clinical features, or if present, of the specific clinical syndrome.

Background: 18F-flortaucipir allows in-vivo visualization of tau tangles in Alzheimer's disease (AD) with a standardized definition of tau-PET positivity. However, semi-quantification is often used in research and in therapeutic trials and plays an important role in the AT(N) framework. This work aims to determine quantitative positivity thresholds and compare semi-quantification to visual interpretation.

Background: Glymphatic clearance dysfunction within the perivascular space has been implicated in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) pathology. Diffusion MRI-based techniques such as DTI-ALPS can quantify perivascular interstitial fluid (ISF) dynamics, yet their links with other early AD markers in the cognitively normal elderly population remain underexplored. Here, we investigated associations between DTI-ALPS and cerebral β-amyloid (Aβ) burden measured with Pittsburgh Compound B (PiB)-PET.

Background: Application of the amyloid/tau/neurodegeneration (ATN) framework is varied, with some research relying on binary assessment of biomarkers and some using continuous or multidimensional measures. There are few investigations which directly evaluate how differing operationalizations of ATN affect prediction of cognitive impairment.
Method: We selected 473 individuals from ADNI who received PET imaging for amyloid-beta (AV-45) and tau (flortaucipir), as well as volumetric MRI.
