NCT01607476

Brief Summary

The intent of this research protocol is to test the equivalency of two amyloid imaging drugs (C11 Pittsburgh Compound B and F18 Flutemetamol). The investigators hypothesize that there will be no significant difference in the distribution of the agents to areas of amyloid deposition in the brain or to other normal brain structures. Recent data have shown similarity in the distribution of the drugs in subjects with Alzheimer's disease (AD) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI). No comparison data of the two PET drugs in normal subjects has been published. It is important to understand differences in the images and biodistribution from the two drugs in normal subjects as nonspecific accumulation of the drugs in brain structures such as white matter appear to differ slightly and could affect image performance.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Global Distribution of C11 PiB in the Brain

    The imaging analysts use a global atlas of the brain to measure the uptake of the radioactive tracer (or brightness) globally. This global uptake was normalized to the uptake in the cerebellar crus region of the brain to get a global Standard Uptake Value Ratio (SUVR). The cerebral crus (crus cerebri) is the anterior portion of the cerebral peduncle which contains the motor tracts. The standard uptake value (SUV) is a way of determining activity in PET imaging. The SUVR is the ratio of SUV from two different regions within the same PET image. For the SUVR, the injected activity, the body weight and the volume to mass conversion factor that are all part of the SUV calculation, cancel.

    Approximately one hour after injection of positron emission tomography (PET) drug
