This study demonstrated that early amyloid deposition predicts cognitive decline in subjects with aMCI, with a higher rate of decline in those with SUVr above a threshold of 1.21. Detection of early amyloid positivity may help in selecting the target population for preventive therapeutic interventions and in designing treatment trials (Trial number, EudraCT 2015-001184-39).
