2. Brain positron emission tomography - Wikipedia

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

   Detectors in the PET scanner detect the radioactivity as the compound charges in various regions of the brain. A computer uses the data gathered by the detectors to create multi-dimensional (normally 3-dimensional volumetric or 4-dimensional time-varying) images that show the distribution of the radiotracer in the brain following the time.

3. Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloid-related_imaging...

   Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) are abnormal differences seen in magnetic resonance imaging of the brain in patients with Alzheimer's disease. ARIA is associated with anti-amyloid drugs, particularly human monoclonal antibodies such as aducanumab. [1] There are two types of ARIA: ARIA-E and ARIA-H.

4. Amyloid plaques - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyloid_plaques

   Amyloid beta immunostaining showing amyloid plaques (brown) Amyloid plaques (also known as neuritic plaques , amyloid beta plaques or senile plaques ) are extracellular deposits of amyloid beta (Aβ) protein that present mainly in the grey matter of the brain.

5. Pittsburgh compound B - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh_compound_B

   Pittsburgh compound B (PiB) is a radioactive analog of thioflavin T, which can be used in positron emission tomography scans to image beta-amyloid plaques in neuronal tissue. Due to this property, Pittsburgh compound B may be used in investigational studies of Alzheimer's disease .
