Comparing Off‐Target Meningeal and Skull Signal in Head‐to‐Head MK‐6240 and AV‐1451 Tau PET
While off-target extra-cerebral signal appears in both tau PET tracers, it was more pronounced and wide-spread in 18F-MK-6240. Subject-specific skull and meningeal masks can parse this signal to aid in cause determination. Additional work is needed to explore factors contributing to this signal, such as demographic, health, and genetic.
