Currently, 3 amyloid PET tracers are approved and commercially available for clinical use. They allow for the accurate in vivo detection of amyloid plaques, one hallmark of Alzheimer disease. Here, we review the current knowledge on the clinical use and utility of amyloid imaging. Appropriate use criteria for the clinical application of amyloid imaging are established, and most currently available data point to their validity. Visual amyloid image analysis is highly standardized. Disclosure of amyloid imaging results is desired by many cognitively impaired subjects and seems to be safe once appropriate education is delivered to the disclosing clinicians. Regarding clinical utility, increasing evidence points to a change in diagnosis via amyloid imaging in about 30% of cases, to an increase in diagnostic confidence in about 60% of cases, to a change in patient management in about 60% of cases, and specifically to a change in medication in about 40% of cases. Also, amyloid imaging results seem to have a relevant impact on caregivers. Further, initial simulation studies point to a potential positive effect on patient outcome and to cost effectiveness of amyloid imaging. These features, however, will require confirmation in prospective clinical trials. More work is also required to determine the clinical utility of amyloid imaging specifically in subjects with mild cognitive impairment and in comparison with or in conjunction with other Alzheimer disease biomarkers. In summary, the clinical use of amyloid imaging is being studied, and the currently available data point to a relevant clinical utility of this imaging technique. Ongoing research will determine whether this accurate and noninvasive approach to amyloid plaque load detection will translate into a benefit to cognitively impaired subjects.
