A longitudinal [[Formula: see text]F] florbetapir PET study should be conducted with a long bore PET. It can also be hypothesized that a second scan with the cerebellum in the axial center of a 3D PET, using a cerebellar RR to calculate changes in tracer concentration may improve the measurement stability of longitudinal [[Formula: see text]F] florbetapir studies.
