Contraindications match standard PET/CT. FDG-PET contraindications: 1) contrast allergy; 2) renal insufficiency; 3) inability to remain still ~20 min; 4) poorly controlled diabetes; 5) pregnancy; 6) infancy. Amyloid PET is inappropriate when: 1) probable AD already confirmed; 2) non-diagnostic use; 3) asymptomatic high-risk individuals; 4) unverified cognitive complaints; 5) suitable alternatives exist. Use with caution where not clinically validated: 1) intracranial mass; 2) poor image quality (e.g., high noise or motion) 3) newborns (<1 year).
