Comments

Flutemetamol F-18 (Vizamyl GE Healthcare) is a positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer approved in 2013 that binds to amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's disease neurodegeneration. However imaging agents have been granted only narrow approval since they can not be used to definitively diagnose Alzheimer's disease or to gauge treatment effectiveness, only to support other diagnostic criteria [2].
