HUMAN AMYLOID IMAGING CONFERENCE

The 16th edition of the HAI was held in Miami, FL on January 17-19, 2024.

HAI 2024

A big thank you for all those who have participated and supported the Human Amyloid Imaging 2024 Conference held January 17-19 in Miami at the James L. Knight International Center.

We were thrilled to welcome 443 attendees from across the globe and 53 podium lectures, 144 poster presentations and 4 stellar keynote presentations, all united by their dedication to advancing the field of brain imaging in neurodegenerative diseases. The vibrant atmosphere and lively discussions were a testament to the importance of this platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration.

The four keynote recordings have been posted and there is still time to review the Book of Abstracts and additional details at the HAI app.

As always, we remain grateful to all our fans, supporters and sponsors, and look forward to reconnecting at our 17th edition in 2025!

OBJECTIVES

1.

Attendees will have the opportunity to review the basic, fundamental principles of amyloid and tau PET imaging, including radiochemistry and radio-tracer synthesis, PET acquisition and data processing, including application of corrections for the partial volume effect and co-registration with structural data.  Particular attention will be given to the assessment of longitudinal PET data as it relates to methods of analysis and comparison to other domains of data, including structural and functional brain imaging data, and clinical and cognitive outcomes.

2.

Data analysis procedures discussed will include voxel-based and region-based approaches, masking for vulnerable regions, and choice of statistical procedures and specific use of control groups from older age groups.

3.

The concept of dichotomous versus continuous measures will continue to be extensively discussed, and the attendees should be able to characterize the advantages and disadvantages of both dichotomized and continuous variable approaches to analyses with respect to specific purposes or intended uses of the outcome.

4.

Attendees will have the opportunity to evaluate and compare amyloid and tau PET data in specific clinical and clinical research contexts, including review of typical findings in Alzheimer’s disease dementia, mild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s disease, and in clinically normal individuals. These phenomena will also be related to familial forms of the disease and to non-AD processes such as fronto-temporal lobar degeneration and dementia with Lewy Bodies, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
