Novel PET targets in stroke research KU Leuven
This thesis presents three novel PET targets in stroke research.
First we explore amyloid PET in the context of cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy is a frequent cause of lobar intracerebral hemorrhage and is characterized by vascular amyloid β accumulation. Amyloid tracers, which were originally developed in the setting of Alzheimer disease, do not only bind to parenchymal amyloid plaques (as seen in Alzheimer ...
