18F-SMBT-1 PET studies showed that beta-amyloid+ Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients, but most importantly, beta-amyloid+ controls (CN) have significantly higher regional 18F-SMBT-1 binding than beta-amyloid- CN, with 18F-SMBT-1 retention highly associated with beta-amyloid burden. These findings suggest that increased 18F-SMBT-1 binding is detectable at the preclinical stages of beta-amyloid accumulation.
