Overview
This prospective study recruited 20 healthy volunteers and 50 patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) according to clinical guidelines. Participants underwent AV45/AV-1 and AV1451 PET imaging to obtain information on Aβ protein deposition, tau protein distribution, and structural and functional information. The study aims to evaluate the value of multimodal imaging features in the diagnosis and progression assessment of AD, providing imaging evidence for novel treatment modalities such as lecanemab therapy and deep cervical vein-lymphatic anastomosis.
Interventions
- Diagnostic test AV45/AV-1、AV1451 PET
Use PET equipment to collect multimodal imaging data. Sixty to ninety minutes after intravenous injection of 3.7 MBq/kg of 18F-AV45 or 18F-AV1, perform PET imaging in list mode to simultaneously collect structural and functional information under the same pathophysiological conditions. The next day, perform 18F-AV1451 PET imaging to obtain tau protein distribution information.
Primary outcome measures
- SUVmean [Time frame: 1 hour from injection of the tracer]
- VOI [Time frame: 1 day from injection of the tracer]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Age: 18-75 years old; Healthy volunteers: males weighing ≥50 kg, females weighing ≥45 kg, with a body mass index (BMI = weight (kg)/height² (m²)) within the range of 19.0-28.0 kg/m² (including boundary values); Cognitive disorders diagnosed clinically according to guidelines include Alzheimer's disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Diagnostic criteria are as follows: 1) Clinical manifestations include symptoms such as memory impairment, difficulty concentrating, slowed thinking, and poor language skills; 2) Neuropsychological tests show that functions such as memory, attention, thinking, and language are below the normal population level; 3) Blood or cerebrospinal fluid tests show elevated levels of human β-amyloid 1-42, human β-amyloid 1-40, and human phosphorylated tau protein. 4) Exclusion of other factors that may cause cognitive impairment, such as drug or substance abuse, environmental factors, etc.; Signing an informed consent form for PET/MR or PET/CT examinations and voluntarily participating in this study.
Exclusion criteria
