Description
Vitor Hugo Machado and co-authors report four patients seen at a memory clinic in Pittsburgh in 2023. Each patient had brain scans for two proteins linked to Alzheimer disease. All four tested positive for one protein, called amyloid, on PET scans in 2025 reporting.
The second scan, for tau protein, gave mixed results across the group. Two patients with dementia showed high tau levels and late-stage patterns with both scan tracers. Patients with mild memory loss showed low tau levels. The cases suggest that adding the tau scan can sharpen the picture for care. Blood tests and MRI scans alone did not set the patients apart.
