Abstract
People with Subjective Cognitive Impairment (SCI) may be at increased risk of dementia. In this study we examined amyloid load in 5 SCI subjects and 14 controls using PIB PET scanning. One SCI subject had significantly increased PIB retention in the cortical areas of interest. Larger, longitudinal studies are indicated.
