Early striatal amyloid signal in Down Syndrome: Comparison of PiB and Florbetapir PET

PET amyloid [11C]PiB imaging has revealed early detection of Ab in the striatum in individuals with Down Syndrome (DS), a group carrying genetic risk for AD. The goal of this investigation is to examine striatal binding of [11C]PiB and [18F]florbetapir (FBP) to determine if similar striatal uptake profiles are observed in individuals with DS.
