Recurrent Brain Trauma May Increase Alzheimer’s Risk (IMAGE)
Caption
(A) Baseline and (B) follow-up volume-rendered amyloid PET images acquired 5 months apart in a male participant exposed to subconcussive blast injuries. Red clusters identify abnormal amyloid uptake compared with healthy control participants by statistical modeling. (B) Note amyloid deposition at follow-up in the precuneus, posterior cingulum, paracentral lobules, and lateral temporal and inferomedial frontal lobes. A = anterior, Ant = anterior, I = inferior, Inf = inferior, L = left, Lat = lateral, Med = medial, P = posterior, Post = posterior, R = right, S = superior, Sup = superior.
