Amyloid and Tau PET

Neuroimaging research in Alzheimer's disease is a rapidly changing field, particularly with these relatively new modalities that image the underlying pathology. Technological developments in acquisition hardware and analysis techniques, as well as the wide availability of high-quality imaging data, result in a large body of research and discovery—making it challenging for researchers to stay up to date.

Upon completion of this course the learner will be able to:

• Explain the pathological changes and physical processes that are fundamental to amyloid and tau PET imaging
• Understand different methods of interpreting and quantifying measures of disease burden from amyloid and tau PET images

Assess the clinical and research applications of amyloid and tau PET scans in Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
