TL;DR
The CDR-SOB score is significantly associated with [11C]PIB uptake in patients with AD, and is a potential surrogate marker of dementia severity.
Abstract
The CDR-SOB score is significantly associated with [11C]PIB uptake in patients with AD. Thus [11C]PIB is a potential surrogate marker of dementia severity.

Relatively stable PIB retention after 2 years of follow-up in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease suggests that amyloid deposition in the brain reaches a plateau by the early clinical stages of Alzheimer’s disease and therefore may precede a decline in rCMRGlc and cognition.
