Associations Between Atrial Cardiopathy and Cerebral Amyloid: The ARIC‐PET Study
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a risk factor for cognitive decline, possibly from silent brain infarction. Left atrial changes in structure or function (atrial cardiopathy) can lead to AF but may impact cognition independently.

Impact of the Definition of Peak Standardized Uptake Value on Quantification of Treatment Response [PDF]
PET-based treatment response assessment typically measures the change in maximum standardized uptake value (SUV(max)), which is adversely affected by noise. Peak SUV (SUV(peak)) has been recommended as a more robust alternative, but its associated region of interest (ROI(peak)) is not uniquely defined.
