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 ...

   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.

5. Avid Radiopharmaceuticals - Wikipedia

   The company has developed a radioactive tracer called florbetapir (18 F). Florbetapir can be used to detect beta amyloid plaques in patients with memory problems using positron emission tomography (PET) scans, making the company the first to bring to market an FDA-approved method that can directly detect this hallmark pathology of Alzheimer's ...

6. Brain positron emission tomography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_positron_emission...

   PET scanning is also used for diagnosis of brain disease, most notably because brain tumors, strokes, and neurondegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease) all cause great changes in brain metabolism, which in turn causes detectable changes in PET scans. PET is probably most useful in early cases of certain ...

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. Flortaucipir (18F) - Wikipedia

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

   Flortaucipir (18 F) is a radioactive diagnostic agent for adults with cognitive impairment who are being evaluated for Alzheimer's disease. [1]It is indicated for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of the brain to estimate the density and distribution of aggregated tau neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), a primary marker of Alzheimer's disease.
