Abstract:
A medical system (10) and method detects amyloid brain plaque. A positron emission tomography (PET) image of a brain is received. The PET image is generated from a radiotracer binding to amyloid brain plaque. A cortical profile is generated from the PET image. The cortical profile describes cortical tracer uptake to varying projection depths inside the cortex of the brain. The PET image is quantitatively assessed using the cortical profile and/or at least a portion of the cortical profile is displayed.
