Small-Molecule Theranostic Probes: A Promising Future in Neurodegenerative Diseases

Figure 5

PET imaging of human AD brain using [¹¹C-] PIB [12]. PIB standardized uptake value (SUV) images show a marked difference between PIB retention in AD patients and healthy control subjects. PET images of a 67-year-old healthy control subject (left) and a 79-year-old AD patient. The left column shows lack of PIB retention in the entire gray matter of the healthy subject.
