Abstract in brief

  • The study developed and validated a visual read method for FMK6240 tau PET scans to effectively distinguish and stage Alzheimer's disease (AD) from non-AD cases, focusing on regional brain uptake patterns.
  • Multiple expert readers assessed a set of 30 scans using different methods, and their agreement confirmed that the regions could be reliably read; a majority rule established a gold standard classification.
  • The final classification system identified four categories based on tau uptake, achieved high inter-reader agreement, and showed consistency with known pathology, supporting its clinical applicability for diagnosing and staging AD.]
