Description
Hiroshi Matsuda, Haruo Hanyu, Chikako Kaneko, and Tensho Yamao tested PET scans in two thousand twenty-five for naming Alzheimer's disease by its biology. New rules define the disease by the presence of amyloid and tau build-up in the brain, plus signs of nerve damage. Fresh tracers can now show each of these in a living brain with high clarity.
Twenty-three patients with thinking problems and suspected Alzheimer's had both amyloid and tau scans, plus MRI. Most were classed as positive for all three markers and so met the biological definition. The authors show the paired scans can sort patients under the new framework in a single work-up.
