MC_CER = mean cortical region SUVR using cerebellar cortex as reference; MC_BS = mean cortical region SUVR using brainstem as reference; MC_CW = mean cortical region SUVR using core white matter as reference; MC_TW = mean cortical region SUVR using total white matter as reference; MCRSF_CER = mean cortical region SUVR using cerebellar cortex as reference with RSF partial volume correction; MCRSF_BS = mean cortical region SUVR using brainstem as reference with RSF partial volume correction; MCRSF_CW = mean cortical region SUVR using core white matter as reference with RSF partial volume correction; MCRSF_TW = mean cortical region SUVR using total white matter as reference with RSF partial volume correction; MCBP = mean cortical binding potential; MCBPRSF = mean cortical binding potential with RSF partial volume correction; delta = change in SUVR from baseline to follow-up; p is the strength of the difference between follow-up and baseline SUVRs based on a paired t-test; Rate = the annual rate of SUVR change; sample size is the estimated number of participants per arm needed to detect a 25% or a 50% reduction in amyloid accumulation rate due to treatment with 80% power and a two-tailed type-I error of p = 0.05 in a 12-month placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial.
