[18F]THK-5351
[18F]AV-45
Primary endpoint A. To compare the distribution of cerebral amyloid plaques and tau protein between stroke patients and normal controls. Secondary endpoints A. To compare tau distribution on [18F]THK5351 PET at acute, subacute and chronic stroke stages. B. To correlate the [18F]THK5351 PET findings with [18F]AV45 PET, brain MRI, and functional and cognitive performance. C. To compare the [18F]THK5351PET, [18F]AV45 PET, and brain MRI findings among stroke patients with no cognitive impairment (NCI), storke patients with VaMCI and stroke patients with PSD.
