If the tau PET scan is negative, clinicians could then use other tools such as FDG PET, dopamine imaging, and MRI to evaluate the likelihood of FTD, DLB, and vascular dementia, respectively. So far, ...

Putting Tau PET to Use As tau PET imaging becomes more reliable, researchers are investigating how it might work in practice. In Barcelona, Adam Fleisher of Avid said tau scans could help sites screen ...

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 ...

Doctors typically use positron emission tomography (PET) as one of the tools to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease. Their imaging technique spots tau tangles, a protein found in the brains of people ...

Utilizing tau PET imaging, new research finds tau to be a more accurate indication for future neurodegeneration, highlighting its potential for precision medicine-based treatment approaches. Amyloid-β ...

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 ...

“Tau PET could be an extremely valuable precision medicine tool for future clinical trials,” says Rabinovici.

Cash runway extended into 2028; expected to enable multiple meaningful clinical data read-outs - - APOE program added to ...

Comparisons of iron accumulation on QSM-MRI and tracer uptake on tau-PET in various brain regions confirmed a statistically significant difference between cognitively normal subjects and those with ...

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 ...

Notably, PET scans revealed that younger study participants had higher overall levels of tau in their brains, as well as a stronger link between baseline tau and subsequent brain atrophy, compared ...
