Abstract

PreambleThis represents a substantial development of the guideline on the topic first published in 2016. The following notable points have been updated: the sections on background information; the clinical benefit of the method; the resulting differential diagnostic considerations; the outlook for possible future extensions of the indication spectrum; the quantitative analysis of the PET images; the embedding of the method in diagnostic pathways; and the relation to alternative biomarker methods such as amyloid measurement in CSF/blood.
