Human Amyloid Imaging Conference
January 17 - January 19
HAI will hold its 16th Annual Edition on January 17-19, 2024 in downtown Miami, at the James L. Knight Center.
Abstract intake begins October 9 and will close October 27, 2023. Past programs, posters and abstract books are available for review on this site.
HAI will not have a room block this year as there are several hotels within one mile from the conference venue, specifically, Hyatt Regency Downtown, Courtyard Marriott, Epic Kimpton, Intercontinental, etc. View the HAI app for more practical details.
As always, we remain grateful to all our fans, supporters and sponsors, and look forward to reconnecting soon!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
