Table 3. SUVR data (mean ± 1SD) for the three selected ROIs among the three groups of subjects, namely aged-matched healthy controls (HC; n = 9), probable cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA; n = 11) and probable Alzheimer’s disease (AD; n = 7).

For the ROI data, statistical comparison among the three groups was carried out using ANOVAs followed by post-hoc Tukey tests whenever the ANOVA was significant. For the occipital/PCC ratio, the comparisons were made using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test. See Results for details.
