Amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) imaging allows the detection of amyloid pathology of the brain. A negative scan (A) shows only nonspecific white matter binding and indicates no to sparse amyloid plaque deposition, while a positive amyloid PET scan (B) shows significant uptake in multiple cortical areas and indicates the presence of moderate to severe amyloid pathology.
