Tau-positron emission tomography correlates with neuropathology findings.

DISCUSSION: Elevated FTP-PET reflects Braak IV or greater neuropathology. Participants with primary age-related tauopathy and hippocampal sclerosis did not show elevated FTP-PET signal. Secondary neuropathologic diagnoses of Alzheimer's disease neuropathologic change can lead to borderline elevated FTP-PET signal. PMID: 31784374 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
