Abstract
A device (10) for performing an amyloid assessment includes a radiation detector assembly (12) including at least one radiation detector (14). At least one electronic processor (20) is programmed to: detect radiation counts over a data acquisition time interval using the radiation detector assembly; compute at least one current count metric from the detected radiation counts; store the at least one current count metric associated with a current test date in a non-transitory storage medium (26); and determine an amyloid metric based on a comparison of the at least one current count metric with a count metric stored in the non-transitory storage medium associated with an earlier test date.
