abstract = {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 $+48\%),$ tau PET change did not correlate with
symptom progression. Tau accumulation followed functional
connectivity (R = 0.34, P < 0.0001). Post mortem data linked
elevated tau PET to higher AT8 burden despite neuronal
loss.[18F]PI-2620 PET enables monitoring of tau progression
in PSP, indicating network-based tau propagation with
saturation in advanced stages.},
