The underlying pathology in Alzheimer disease is thought to precede the onset of cognitive symptoms by many years, and efforts are underway to identify early diagnostic markers and develop disease-modifying treatments for this condition. Nordberg et al. examine how PET imaging is being used to further our understanding of the pathophysiology of Alzheimer disease, and consider future applications of this technique in the clinical setting.
