Other Name: PIB |
- Whole Brain 11C-PIB SUVR [ Time Frame: 40 to 90 minutes post injection ]Standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) of 11C-PIB;The extent of Aβ deposition in the brain will be quantified by[11C]PiB uptake visualized by PET using standardized uptake volume ratio (SUVR) of 6 primary cortical areas (i.e., anterior cingulate, prefrontal cortex, lateral temporal cortex, posterior parietal cortex, precuneus cortex, and anteroventral striatum) relative to the uptake in the cerebellum
Biospecimen Retention: Samples Without DNA
