Tau-PET : Future of Alzheimer's patients Value of imaging to detect the presence of tau protein in the brain to predict cognitive decline due to Alzheimer's disease Date: August 9, 2023 Source ...

In this study, researchers compared tau PET scans of study participants who were cognitively impaired with those who were not impaired based on cognitive tests to establish a tau cut-point that would ...

A new tau PET radiotracer, 18F-SNFT-1, has been found to be more effective than existing tau PET radiotracers in identifying Alzheimer’s disease in its earliest stages, according to research ...

Two studies analyzed tau-PET scans from thousands of participants in dozens of cohorts. Tangle prevalence increased with age among cognitively normal people, but decreased among those with dementia.

Based on this review, 17 clinical scenarios were developed in which amyloid or tau PET may be considered. The researchers found that 7 scenarios were rated as appropriate, 2 as uncertain, and 8 as ...

Our results show that while the various PET measures were all associated with the presence of cognitive symptoms, confirming their role as strong indicators of Alzheimer's disease, tau PET was the ...
