His Amyloid β research includes themes of Radiology, Pet imaging, Neuropathology, Prospective cohort study and Autopsy.
His most cited work include:
- Cerebral PET with florbetapir compared with neuropathology at autopsy for detection of neuritic amyloid-β plaques: a prospective cohort study (504 citations)
- The Centiloid Project: Standardizing quantitative amyloid plaque estimation by PET (273 citations)
- Amyloid-β Imaging with Pittsburgh Compound B and Florbetapir: Comparing Radiotracers and Quantification Methods (255 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Pathology, Amyloid, Nuclear medicine, Disease and Positron emission tomography.
When carried out as part of a general Pathology research project, his work on Dementia, Autopsy, Dementia with Lewy bodies and Amyloid pet is frequently linked to work in Chemistry, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
Michael J. Pontecorvo combines subjects such as Radiology, Cognition and Atrophy with his study of Amyloid.
His work on Pet imaging is typically connected to Test retest reproducibility as part of general Nuclear medicine study, connecting several disciplines of science.
In general Disease study, his work on Cognitive impairment and Solanezumab often relates to the realm of Clinical diagnosis, thereby connecting several areas of interest.
His studies deal with areas such as Alzheimer's disease, Effective dose and Cognitive decline as well as Positron emission tomography.
He most often published in these fields:
- Pathology (30.36%)
- Amyloid (29.46%)
- Nuclear medicine (26.79%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

- Pathology (30.36%)
- Internal medicine (20.54%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Nuclear medicine, Pathology, Internal medicine, Disease and Dementia.
His work in the fields of Nuclear medicine, such as Pet imaging, intersects with other areas such as Phase.
His research in the fields of Autopsy and Amyloid overlaps with other disciplines such as Basal ganglia.
His research investigates the link between Disease and topics such as Cognition that cross with problems in National Adult Reading Test.
His Dementia research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Neuropathology and Pathological.
His work in Neuropathology tackles topics such as Stage which are related to areas like Positron emission tomography.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- A multicentre longitudinal study of flortaucipir (18F) in normal ageing, mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease dementia. (62 citations)
- Tau Positron-Emission Tomography in Former National Football League Players (60 citations)
- Positron Emission Tomography Imaging With [18F]flortaucipir and Postmortem Assessment of Alzheimer Disease Neuropathologic Changes (55 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Internal medicine
- Alzheimer's disease
- Pathology
Michael J. Pontecorvo spends much of his time researching Positron emission tomography, Nuclear medicine, Standardized uptake value, Alzheimer's disease and Dementia.
His research brings together the fields of Psychiatry and Positron emission tomography.
His Nuclear medicine research includes themes of Pittsburgh compound B, Magnetic resonance imaging, Brain size, Disease and Amyloid burden.
His Standardized uptake value study combines topics in areas such as Longitudinal study, Cardiology, Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance, Cognition and Neuropsychological test.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Volumetric magnetic resonance imaging, Atrophy, Cohort and Autopsy in addition to Alzheimer's disease.
His Dementia study improves the overall literature in Internal medicine.
