| Sensitivity and Specificity of the Majority Read of Visual Assessment of Tracer Uptake Compared to Histological Verification of the Presence or Absence of Cerebral Beta-amyloid in Postmortem Specimens | 90-110 minutes post injection (PET image acquisition) | The sensitivity/specificity of the visual assessment were calculated based on the majority read assessment of regional tracer uptake. This result was derived from assessments by 3 independent readers for brain regions of a subject where a Standard of Truth (SOT) was available. The SOT for this analysis was a centralized histopathological determination of β-amyloid presence/absence based on both Bielschowsky silver and immunohistochemical staining. Based on the PET images, a brain region was classified as normal or abnormal depending on the presence or absence of regional tracer uptake in the respective region. Normal therefore meant absence of β-amyloid and abnormal presence of β-amyloid. Sensitivity was defined as the percentage of abnormal brain regions from all regions where an SOT was available and the SOT was β-amyloid present. Specificity was defined as the percentage of normal brain regions from all regions where an SOT was available and was β-amyloid not present. |

Sensitivity and Specificity of the Majority Read of Visual Assessment of Tracer Uptake Compared to Histological Verification of the Presence or Absence of Cerebral Beta-amyloid in Postmortem Specimens
The sensitivity/specificity of the visual assessment were calculated based on the majority read assessment of regional tracer uptake. This result was derived from assessments by 3 independent readers for brain regions of a subject where a Standard of Truth (SOT) was available. The SOT for this analysis was a centralized histopathological determination of β-amyloid presence/absence based on both Bielschowsky silver and immunohistochemical staining. Based on the PET images, a brain region was classified as normal or abnormal depending on the presence or absence of regional tracer uptake in the respective region. Normal therefore meant absence of β-amyloid and abnormal presence of β-amyloid. Sensitivity was defined as the percentage of abnormal brain regions from all regions where an SOT was available and the SOT was β-amyloid present. Specificity was defined as the percentage of normal brain regions from all regions where an SOT was available and was β-amyloid not present.
