Biomarker Assessment for an Early Biological Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease
November 12 – 09:00 – November 13 – 12:30 CET
As part of the AD-LEARN educational initiative, this intensive onsite course provides early-career nuclear medicine physicians with practical, expert-led training in the biomarker-based diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. Through interactive workshops, clinical case discussions and hands-on image interpretation, participants will explore the clinical application of amyloid and tau PET, FDG PET, perfusion imaging and complementary biomarkers. Building on the AD-LEARN online educational programme, the course aims to strengthen diagnostic confidence, enhance clinical decision-making and promote consistent, evidence-based approaches to the early biological diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease. This course will be recorded.

Learning Objectives
· Understand the concordance and complementary roles of tau-PET, quantitative amyloid PET measures, and CSF Aβ42/40 in Alzheimer’s disease diagnostics.
· Recognize clinically relevant quantitative thresholds for Aβ and tau PET and understand how quantitative measures can complement expert visual interpretation, particularly in borderline cases.
· Describe the relationship between increasing Aβ burden, tau PET positivity, and clinical disease stage, and appreciate the diagnostic significance of concordant visual and quantitative tau positivity.
· Interpret the different metabolic/perfusion patterns in dementia
· Interchangeability of perfusion/FDG PET
· How to combine the FDG PET findings with tau and amyloid biomarkers
