Florbetapir F 18 appears to have a wide effective dose range and a high test–retest reliability for both quantitative (SUVr) values and visual assessment of the ligand, and these imaging performance properties provide important technical information on the use of florbetapIR F 18 and PET to detect cerebral amyloid aggregates.
