Imaging tau pathology in Parkinsonisms
Abstract The recent development of positron emission tomography radiotracers targeting pathological tau in vivo has led to numerous human trials. While investigations have primarily focused on the most common tauopathy, Alzheimer’s disease, it is imperative that testing also be performed in parkinso...

In this review, we evaluate the preclinical and clinical reports of current tau radiotracers in parkinsonian disorders.

There are concerns of off-target binding with [18F]FDDNP and [11C]PBB3, which may increase the signal to noise ratio and thereby decrease the efficacy of these radiotracers. Testing in [18F]THK-5317, [18F]THK-5351, and [18F]AV-1451 has been performed in progressive supranuclear palsy, while [18F]THK-5317 and [18F]AV-1451 have also been tested in corticobasal degeneration patients. [18F]THK-5317 and [18F]THK-5351 have demonstrated binding in brain regions known to be afflicted with pathological tau; however, due to small sample sizes these studies should be replicated before concluding their appropriateness in parkinsonian tauopathies.
