Amyvid is the first FDA-approved imaging agent used to estimate the density of beta-amyloid plaque in the brain, which is an indicator of Alzheimer's disease, although such plaque may be present in patients who do not have Alzheimer's disease. Diagnosing Alzheimer’s is complex Its not done by a single test you need to do several tests for diagnosis, and it is based on individual health history physical examination, and cognitive testing.
Amyvid underwent evaluation in three clinical studies. These studies involved analyzing images from healthy adult subjects and individuals with various cognitive disorders. Terminally ill patients who had agreed to participate in a postmortem brain donation program were also included in the evaluation.
Amyvid sticks to β-amyloid plaques, and its F 18 isotope makes a signal seen by a PET scanner. Amyvid pictures tell us if there's amyloid, helping rule out Alzheimer's Disease (AD). If there's amyloid, it fits with AD diagnosis. It can also be in people with other brain issues or normal elderly brains. If there is no amyloid, it does not match AD. This helps doctors make better diagnoses. Studies show Amyloid PET makes diagnoses more certain and can change what doctors think.
