Abstract

Beta-amyloid (Abeta) deposition is one of the neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD), Abeta burden can be quantified using (11)C PiB PET. Neuropathological studies have shown that the initial plaques are located in the temporal and orbitofrontal cortices, extending later to the cingulate, frontal and parietal cortices (Braak and Braak, 1997). Previous studies have shown an overlap in (11)C PiB PET retention between AD, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients and normal elderly control (NC) participants. It has also been shown that there is a relationship between Abeta deposition and memory impairment in MCI patients. In this paper we explored the variability seen in 15 AD, 15 MCI and 18 NC by modeling the voxel data from spatially and uptake normalized PiB images using principal component analysis. The first two principal components accounted for 80% of the variability seen in the data, providing a clear separation between AD and NC, and allowing subsequent classification. The MCI cases were distributed along an apparent axis between the AD and NC group, closely aligned with the first principal component axis. The NC cases that were PiB(+) formed a distinct cluster that was between, but separated from the AD and PiB(-) NC clusters. The PiB(+) MCI were found to cluster with the AD cases, and exhibited a similar deposition pattern. The primary principal component score was found to correlate with episodic memory scores and mini mental status examination and it was observed that by varying the first principal component, a change in amyloid deposition could be derived that is similar to the expected progression of amyloid deposition observed from post mortem studies.

  • Serial amyloid PET scans show Aβ deposition starts in anterior temporal areas and spreads to frontal and medial parietal areas, associative neocortex, and later primary sensorimotor areas and subcortical regions, mirroring neuropathological staging of AD.

    “Serial amyloid PET scans show that Αβ deposition starts in the anterior temporal areas and spreads to the frontal and medial parietal areas, the associative neocortex and later on at the primary sensorimotor areas and subcortical regions mirroring the neuropathological staging of AD pathology [164–166].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
