Amyloid PET imaging and dementias: potential applications in detecting and quantifying early white matter damage

Abstract Purpose Positron emission tomography (PET) with amyloid tracers (amy-PET) allows the quantification of pathological amyloid deposition in the brain tissues, including the white matter (WM). Here, we evaluate amy-PET uptake in WM lesions (WML) and in the normal-appearing WM (NAWM) of patient...
