education (40%) and referrals. Scans stimulated referrals to develop a family plan of progressive support in 27% and to a psychiatrist in 20%. Themost frequent change in care practiceswas referral to a Alzheimer clinical trial (53%). The diagnosis judged most likely before the scan changed in 27% and there was a 90% increase in diagnostic confidence after the amyloid PET.

Changes in recommended non-drug care practices contribute to the value of amyloid PET. Further experience is needed to fully understand the role of amyloid classification technology in clinical practice.
