摘要: A bis (thiosemicarbazonato) complex radiolabeled with positron emitting Cu-64 can be used for a new and alternative method the non-invasive diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease using emission tomography (PET). Most imaging agents being investigated target amyloid-β plaque burden but our approach highlights altered copper homeostasis. This has potential to offer complementary information other diagnostic procedures that elucidate burden.
