    Abstract

    BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology can be quantified in vivo using cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of amyloid-β1-42 (Aβ1-42), total-tau (t-tau), and phosphorylated tau (p-tau181p), as well as with positron emission tomography (PET) using [11C]Pittsburgh compound-B ([11C]PIB). Studies assessing concordance between these measures, however, have provided conflicting results. Moreover, it has been proposed that [11C]PIB PET may be of greater clinical utility in terms of identifying patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) who will progress to the dementia phase of AD. OBJECTIVE: To determine concordance and classification accuracy of CSF biomarkers and [11C]PIB PET in a cohort of patients with MCI and AD. METHODS: 68 patients (MCI, n = 33; AD, n = 35) underwent [11C]PIB PET and CSF sampling. Cutoffs of >1.41 ([11C]PIB),
