Discordance in amyloid positivity between visual reads and Centiloids: Impact of white matter uptake

Variations in WM uptake significantly contribute to discordances by introducing positive or negative bias in CL values and altering the GM to WM contrast, which forms the basis of the VR. Nevertheless, the rates of discordant cases are low and VR represents a robust and validated method to determine the presence of amyloid deposition. VR enables enrolling patients with amyloid beta pathology, as seen on amyloid PET scans, whereas CL scaling was developed to provide standardized units that more consistently characterize longitudinal amyloid‑β change. These findings reflect the complementary roles of VR and CL in amyloid PET evaluation, with implications for refining diagnostic accuracy and disease monitoring in AD clinical trials and practice.
