Description

Alzheimer disease (AD) seriously influenced the quality of life in elderly. As a new positron imaging agent binding with β-amyloid, 11C-Pittsburgh compound-B can specifically detect characteristic phathological changes of AD. It provides the potential possibility of early diagnosis and treatment, effect evaluation in AD. (authors)
