Amyloid imaging is inappropriate
in the following situations
Amyloid imaging is appropriate in
the following situations
• Patients with core clinical criteria for probable AD with
typical age of onset
• To determine dementia severity
• Based solely on a positive family history of dementia or
presence of apolipoprotein E (APOE) ε4
• Patients with a cognitive complaint that is unconfirmed
on clinical examination
• In lieu of genotyping for suspected autosomal
mutation carriers
• In asymptomatic individuals
• Nonmedical use (eg, legal, insurance coverage, or
employment screening)
• Patients with persistent or progressive
unexplained MCI
• Patients satisfying core clinical criteria
for possible AD because of unclear
clinical presentation, either an atypical
clinical course or an etiologically
mixed presentation
• Patients with progressive dementia and
atypically early age of onset (usually
defined as 65 years or less in age)

• The determination of cortical uptake of amyloid
PET tracers relies on inspection of the contrast
between gray matter and white matter
• Amyloid PET tracers are routinely visible in
white matter of all scans, regardless of AD
pathology, but binding in cortical gray matter is
very low or absent in patients without β-amyloid
plaques
• If β-amyloid plaques are moderate or frequent,
the amyloid image contrast between gray and
white matter is reduced, as seen in the lower
two images

Abnormalities (ARIA) and Its Mimics
Full abbreviations, accreditation, and disclosure information available at PeerView.com/PVA40 Infarct (Early Subacute)
FLAIR+ (hyperintensity)
•In addition to FLAIR and GRE/SWI sequences, a trace DWI 
sequence should be included as routine protocol in ARIA 
monitoring examinations to help with the diferential 
diagnosis of new signal abnormalities 
•For example, the DWI sequence plays an important role in 
helping to diferentiate ARIA-E from potential cytotoxic 
edema caused by an incidental infarct
•In classic cases of ARIA, the difusion restriction will be 
absent, because intense difusion restriction associated 
with an infarct is not a characteristic of ARIA
•The DWI sequence helped to identify the underlying 
etiology of this patient’s radiographic fndings
•Difusion restriction was identifed, which indicated that it 
was not ARIA
•However, the difusion restriction was located in the sulci, 
which is not a typical pattern seen with acute or subacute 
infarcts 
•This patient was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis

Brain Metastasis
FLAIR+ (hyperintensity)
•New signal abnormalities detected in ARIA monitoring 
examinations may require T1-weighted gadolinium-enhanced 
imaging to diferentiate between ARIA and brain metastases
•Contrast-enhanced imaging should be considered based on 
the patient’s medical history and/or any clinical fndings that 
may suggest the possibility of a metastatic etiology
•ARIA and PRES are usually indistinguishable based on MRI (eg, both 
will typically have FLAIR hyperintensities and no restricted 
difusion)
•Therefore, the clinical context is critical to diferentiate between 
ARIA and PRES
•This patient presented to the emergency department with 
confusion, headache, and very high blood pressure (which is a 
classic presentation for PRES)
