Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Inter-reader Agreement - Median Kappa Statistic50-60 min after injection

Seven readers blinded to all clinical information using the binary read methodology (amyloid positive/negative). Simple kappa statistics were calculated for each reader versus the other 6 readers. Primary outcome measure was the median kappa of each reader versus the other 6 readers.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Inter-reader Agreement - Fleiss' Kappa50-60 min after injection

Seven readers blinded to all clinical information using the binary read methodology (amyloid positive/negative). Fleiss' kappa was calculated across all inter-reader comparisons.
