2. Florbetaben (18F) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florbetaben_(18F)

   A substantial proportion of patients with a positive florbetaben PET scan progressed to AD-dementia over a 2-year and 4-year time frame. At 4-year follow-up, 88% (21/24) of individuals with MCI and positive florbetaben uptake converted to clinical dementia due to AD, whereas none of 21 florbetaben-negative individuals with MCI experienced a ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florbetapir_(18F)

   Florbetapir (18 F), sold under the brand name Amyvid, is a PET scanning radiopharmaceutical compound containing the radionuclide fluorine-18 that was approved for use in the United States in 2012, [4] as a diagnostic tool for Alzheimer's disease.

4. Fluoroethyl-L-tyrosine (18F) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoroethyl-L-tyrosine_(18F)

   Fluoroethyl-l-tyrosine (18 F) commonly known as [18 F]FET, is a radiopharmaceutical tracer used in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging.This synthetic amino acid, labeled with the radioactive isotope fluorine-18, is a valuable radiopharmaceutical tracer for use in neuro-oncology for diagnosing, planning treatment, and following up on brain tumors such as gliomas.

   Several radiotracers (i.e. radioligands) have been developed for PET that are ligands for specific neuroreceptor subtypes such as [11 C] raclopride, [18 F] fallypride and [18 F] desmethoxyfallypride for dopamine D2/D3 receptors, [11 C] McN 5652 and [11 C] DASB for serotonin transporters, [18 F] Mefway for serotonin 5HT1A receptors, [18 F ...

   Whole-body PET scan using 18 F-FDG (fluorodeoxyglucose). The normal brain and kidneys are labeled, and radioactive urine from breakdown of the FDG is seen in the bladder. In addition, a large metastatic tumor mass from colon cancer is seen in the liver. PET scanning with the radiotracer [18 F]fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) is widely used in clinical ...

   U.S. health officials on Friday lifted curbs on reimbursement of a non-invasive imaging test called amyloid PET used to diagnose Alzheimer's, ending a once-per-lifetime limitation that clears the ...

8. Fluorine-18 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorine-18

   Fluorine-18 (18 F, also called radiofluorine) is a fluorine radioisotope which is an important source of positrons. It has a mass of 18.0009380(6) u and its half-life is 109.771(20) minutes. It decays by positron emission 96.7% of the time and electron capture 3.3% of the time.

9. Alzheimer's disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alzheimer's

   Due to low accuracy, the C-PIB-PET scan is not recommended as an early diagnostic tool or for predicting the development of AD when people show signs of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). [160] The use of 18 F-FDG PET scans, as a single test, to identify people who may develop Alzheimer's disease is not supported by evidence.
