Introduction: F-18-florbetaben and positron emission tomography were used to examine the relationships between beta-amyloid (A beta) deposition, cognition, hippocampal volume, and white matter hyperintensities in mild cognitive impairment (MCI).Methods: Forty-five MCI participants were evaluated. A neocortical standardized uptake value ratio threshold >= 1.45 was used to discriminate high from low A beta burden. Correlations were adjusted for age, gender and years of education.Results: High A beta burden was found in 53% of MCI. Regression analyses showed standardized uptake value ratio (r = -0.51, P = 0.0015) and hippocampal volume (r = 0.60, P = 0.024) both contributing to episodic memory impairment in independent fashion. White matter hyperintensities correlated with nonmemory cognition, and this correlation was particularly associated with A beta burden.Conclusion: Higher A beta deposition in MCI is associated with more severe memory impairment and is contributing to early amnestic symptoms independent of hippocampal atrophy.
