PiB

Carbon C 11 Pittsburgh Compound B is a radioconjugate composed of the beta-amyloid binding agent Pittsburgh compound B (PiB), a derivative of the amyloid-binding dye thioflavin T (ThT), that is conjugated to the radioisotope carbon C11, with potential amyloid imaging activity upon positron emission tomography (PET)
