28 (link) PET imaging was performed as described previously.
21 (link) Briefly, PET imaging was performed using a Siemens/CTI ECAT HR+ scanner (Siemens Medical Solutions, Knoxville, TN) operating in three‐dimensional (3D) imaging mode. Subjects were injected intravenously with 15 mCi of high specific activity [11C]PiB (> 2 Ci/μmol at end‐of‐synthesis) before being positioned in the scanner. Following a 10–15 min transmission scan using rotating 68Ge/68Ga rod sources for the purpose of attenuation correction of PET emission data, a 20‐min emission scan was acquired (4 × 5 min frames) beginning 50 min after injection. PET emission data were reconstructed using 3D filtered back projection with Fourier rebinning, and standard corrections for photon attenuation, scatter, and radioactive decay were applied.
Simplified [11C]PiB Radiosynthesis and PET Imaging
These scans were acquired on a Siemens/CTI ECAT HR+ scanner (Siemens Medical Solutions, Knoxville, TN) in 3D mode [63 axial imaging planes, field-of-view (FOV) 15.2 cm, in-plane resolution 4.1 mm full-width at half-maximum, at FOV center, axial slice width 2.4 mm], which is equipped with a neuro-insert to reduce scattered photon contribution. PET emission data were reconstructed using filtered back projection and included standard corrections for attenuation, scatter, and radionuclide decay. Of note, four memory clinic participants were missing [11C]PiB-PET data, and these participants were excluded only from the analyses that included Aβ load.
Multimodal PET Imaging of Cerebral Hemodynamics
Before the PET scans, an catheter was placed in a radial artery; an antecubital venous catheter was placed in the contralateral forearm. A transmission scan was performed for attenuation correction.
Subsequently, two sessions of 15O PET scans were performed to sequentially quantify PET-based BV, BF and MRO2, with different radiotracers (C15O, H215O, and 15O2). Acquisition parameters details for 15O PET have been described in (Jiang et al., 2021 (link)).
For the 18FDG scans, after bolus intravenous administration of 5mCi±10% FDG, 70 frames of 3D dynamic emission scans were acquired over 70 min (70 frames x 1 min). Sixteen arterial blood samples (about 1.5 mL each) were collected to calculate the arterial input function (6 × 30s, 10 × 10min). After centrifuge, blood serum was extracted to determine the arterial input function.
During scans and arterial blood sample acquisition, subjects laid quietly in a dark room with their eyes closed. PET reconstruction was by filtered back-projection using a 3 mm smoothing kernel, resulting in a voxel size of 2.0 × 2.0 × 2.4 (slice) mm3.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
