Abstract:
Alzheimer disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder in the elderly. It is the most common cause of dementia and is difficult to diagnose in the early stage. PET imaging has important value for early diagnosis, and amyloid imaging is the best choice for early diagnosis of AD, glucose imaging has great value of assessment of disease condition. The application and progresses of PET imaging in early diagnosis of AD, focusing on glucose imaging, amyloid protein imaging and tau protein imaging were reviewed in this article.
