PET• Siemens HR+ ECAT (3D mode)• 90 min. dynamic acquisition
– 4 x 15 s, 4 x 60 s, 2 x 150 s and 16 x 300 s• 300 MBq iv (mean 230)• Arterial sampling, metabolite correction• FBP (attenuation, random and scatter correction)
MRI• 1.5 T Siemens Sonata • T1w MR (MPRAGE)• BOLD-fMRI (associative-semantic paradigm)
Scan protocol PIB
• Sum frame 1-6• Realign fr 9-26, sum as reference• Smooth 6mm• Kinetic modeling
– Logan DVR (reference = cerebellar cortex)(Price et al., J Cereb Blood Flow Metab 2005, Loprestiet al., J Nucl Med 2005)
• Mask• Normalize (SPM2, sum to PET template)• Smooth 12 mm• SPM analyses
Processing PIB
• 15 patients with early-stage AD– MMSE: 19 – 28, mean 24.6, SD 2.7– 6 men, 9 women– 1 left-hander– Age: 65 – 87 years, mean 73.2, SD 6.8– Education: 8 – 16 years, mean 11.9, SD 2.4
• 16 controls– 7 men, 9 women– 1 left-hander– Age: 59 - 89 years, mean 70.9, SD 7.5– Education: 8 - 18 years, mean 12.9, SD 2.5
Demographics
• CDR• CPM• TMT(A & B)• AVLT (TL, STPR, LTPR, T7, recog)• RVDLT (TL, recog) or Rey-Osterrieth complex figure (copy, immediate
recall, delayed recall)• VOSP number location• BORB-OD (easy & hard)• AAT
– Spontaneous speech (comm, art, aut, sem, fon, syn)– Naming– Comprehension (AWC, ASC, VWC, VSC)– Reading– Writing– Repetition– Token test
• BNT• AVF• PALPA 49• PPT

In vivo correlation?
• Simple correlations (SPM2) of DVR with:
– AVLT TL– AVLT recognition– CPM– Token test– AAT comprehension– PALPA– BNT– AVF
No significant voxels at puc < 0.001
