Conclusion: Progressive tau accumulation occurs in prodromal AD and DEM patients in the cortical areas at different levels of tau accumulation. Progression of cognitive dysfunction may be related to the additional tau accumulation in regions of higher Braak stage. 18F-flortaucipir PET is an imaging biomarker for monitoring the progression of AD.
