Background: Current research diagnostic criteria for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD include biomarkers to supplement clinical testing. Recently, we demonstrated that dual time-point [F-18]FBB PET is able to deliver both blood flow and amyloid-beta (A beta) load surrogates.Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether these surrogates can be utilized as AD biomarkers.Methods: 112 subjects (41 with MCI, 50 with probable/possible AD, 21 with other dementias) underwent dual time-point [F-18]FBB PET. Data were visually and relative quantitatively (Herholz scores for the early and composite SUVRs for the late PET data) analyzed.Results: In the early images AD-typical patterns were present in 42%/27%/33% of probable/possible AD/MCl/other dementia cases. In late [F-18]FBB PET, 42%/29%/38% of probable/possible AD/ MCl/other dementia cases were A beta-positive. 17% of the MCIs were categorized as "MCI due to AD-high likelihood", 44% of the probable ADs as "probable AD with high evidence of AD pathophysiological process" and 28% of the possible ADs as "possible AD with evidence of AD pathophysiological process". 27% of all subjects showed a positive diagnostic and progression biomarker. Herholz scores were lower (0.85 +/- 0.05 versus 0.88 +/- 0.04, p = 0.015) for probable/possible AD versus MCI. Composite late phase SUVRs were significantly higher (1.65 +/- 0.23 versus 1.15 +/- 0.17, p < 0.005) in A beta-positive versus A beta-negative patients. Herholz and MMSE scores were positively correlated (R = 0.30 p = 0.006).Conclusion: Dual time-point [F-18]FBB PET provides dual biomarker information which enables to categorize MCI and AD dementia patients according to established diagnostic criteria. Thus, dual time-point [F-18]FBB PET has great potential to supplement diagnostic dementia workups.
