[Abstract] The main pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease is the abnormal accumulation of beta-amyloid and the abnormal phosphorylation of Tau protein causes neurofibrillary tangles. Metal ions play an important role in the formation of β beta plaque. With the development of imaging technology, it is possible to evaluate the abnormal deposition of beta-amyloid and tangles of neurofibrillary fibers. This paper reviews the mechanism of metal ions and the status of imaging evaluation.
