Florbetapir SUVr Conversion to Centiloid Units
Conversion of florbetapir (18F) positron emission tomography (PET) standard uptake value ratio (SUVr) to Centiloid units. The Centiloid is anchored at values of 0 and 100 corresponding to the median Pittsburgh Compound B (11C-PiB) SUVr value for a representative group of young (\<45) cognitively and medically healthy control subjects (YHC) and the median SUVr value for a representative group of 11C-PiB positive patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, respectively. A cortical average to cerebellum SUVr was used for this outcome measure.
Time frame: up to 70 minutes post injection
Correlation of Florbetapir (18F) Centiloid and 11C-PiB Centiloid
Correlation coefficient between 11C-PiB and florbetapir (18F) SUVr as converted to centiloid units. The Centiloid is anchored at values of 0 and 100 corresponding to the median Pittsburgh Compound B (11C-PiB) SUVr value for a representative group of young (\<45) cognitively and medically healthy control subjects (YHC) and the median SUVr value for a representative group of 11C-PiB positive patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, respectively. A cortical average to cerebellum SUVr was used for this outcome measure.
Time frame: up to 70 minutes post injection
Variability of PET Images in Young Healthy Control Subjects.
Coefficient of variation for 11C-PiB and florbetapir (18F) SUVr. A cortical average to cerebellum SUVr was used for this outcome measure.
Time frame: up to 70 minutes post injection
