Open-source software standardizes tau PET image analysis for neurodegenerative disease research
In neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy, abnormal accumulation of tau protein occurs in the brain.
Summary
In neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy, abnormal accumulation of tau protein occurs in the brain. Identifying the location and extent of tau accumulation in vivo is crucial for understanding disease mechanisms and progression. PET imaging with florzolotau (18F), a radiotracer that binds to tau aggregates, can visualize tau pathology.
