The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of cerebral blood flow alternation with cerebral amyloid deposition in autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s disease. Cross-subject negative correlation between cerebral blood flow and amyloid deposition was observed, indicating brain regions with high amyloid deposition may be associated with hypoperfusion. Our finding suggests cerebral hypoperfusion may contribute to the onset and progression of AD.
