Diagnostic utility of PIB and FDG in (A) detecting the presence of AD pathology (intermediate to high ADNC as the primary or secondary pathological diagnosis); and (B) detecting AD (intermediate to high ADNC) as the primary pathological diagnosis.
Diagnostic utility is presented as percentage [95% confidence interval]
