LOAD group). Group differences in tracer uptake were assessed on a voxel-wise basis using statistical parametric mapping, and by comparing mean values in regions of interest. Results: EOAD group showed significantly increased [11C]-labeled PiB uptake throughout bilateral basal ganglia, bilateral thalamus, left lateral temporal cortex and left occipital cortex on voxel-wise and region of interest comparisons (P<0.05). Conclusions:Our findings demonstrated that EOAD group has greater amyloid burden than LOAD group and there are consistent with postmortem pathologic studies.
