Abstract
ß-Amyloid(Aß)plaques and neurofibrillary tangles detected in post mortem brain are the defining characteristics of Alzheimer's disease (AD). In vitro imaging of Aß plaques could be very useful for early diagnosis and therapy monitoring of AD. A 11C-labelled benzothiazole-aniline, [11C]BTA, is the first Aß PET-tracer used in AD patients witz promising results (1).Here we report the radiosynthesis and evaluation of [18F]FBTA, a new [18F]analog of [11C]BTA.
