This 2024 update is the first revision since the initial AUC for amyloid PET was introduced in 2013. Notably, the updated AUC introduces guidelines for tau PET imaging, paving the way for its broader clinical use following the FDAs approval of the tau radiotracer 18F-flortaucipir in 2020. Since then, the U.S.
