¹⁸F-THK523 and ¹¹⁸F-florbetaben positron emission tomography scans in a progressive supranuclear palsy patient. Representative ¹⁸F-florbetaben (¹⁸F-FBB, left) and ¹⁸F-THK523 (¹⁸F-THK, right) transaxial images at three different brain levels of a 79–year-old PSP patient with a Mini Mental State Examination score of 26. Visual inspection reveals no cortical retention of either ¹⁸F-THK523 or ¹⁸F-florbetaben, despite a postmortem immunohistological examination (see Figure 3 5 months after PET evaluation), confirming the presence of tau lesions. SUVR, Standardised uptake value ratio.
