PET and MRI axial (left row), coronal (middle row), and sagittal (right row) images from an individual with familial Alzheimer’s disease and GBM (participant #13). (a) AG PET image showing regional asymmetry with higher AG in the right hemisphere. (b) FLAIR MR image at the time of PET study, showing no evidence of abnormality. (c) FLAIR MR image a year later demonstrating first evidence of abnormal signal; (d) MR T1-weighted image with (Gadolinium) contrast enhancement 21 months after PET study, showing GBM.
