The feasibility of (11)C‐PIB‐PET/CT for amyloid plaque burden: validation of the effectiveness of CT‐based partial volume correction

INTRODUCTION: Amyloid positron‐emission tomography (PET) imaging with (11)C‐Pittsburgh compound B (PiB) is an effective tool for assessing brain amyloid deposits. PET imaging, however, can suffer from the partial volume effect (PVE). PVE has been corrected using MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) imag...
