Abstract
- Purpose Tau deposition is a key pathological feature of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative disorders. The spreading of tau neurofibrillary tangles across defined brain regions corresponds to the observed level of cognitive decline in AD. Positron-emission tomography (PET) has proved to be an important tool for the detection of amyloid-beta (Aβ) aggregates in the brain, and is currently being explored for detection of pathological misfolded tau in AD and other non-AD tauopathies. Several PET tracers targeting tau deposits have been discovered and tested in humans. Limitations have been reported, especially regarding their selectivity.
