AB - Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a 4-repeat tauopathy, can be visualized using [18F]PI-2620 tau positron emission tomography (PET). However, the value of sequential [18F]PI-2620 imaging for tracking tau accumulation during the disease course has not yet been investigated.Twenty-three PSP patients underwent two [18F]PI-2620 PET scans (interval: 21.4 ± 4.3 months) and were compared to cross-sectional data from 25 healthy controls. Regional volume of distribution ratio values were analyzed for longitudinal tau changes, clinical correlations, and network-based propagation. Post mortem analyses examined neuronal density and AT8 tau pathology.Subcortical tau PET signals increased, strongest in the globus pallidus internus (P < 0.0001). Patients with low baseline tau showed the largest increases. Despite clinical worsening (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Rating Scale +48
