  1. The Standard Uptake Value (SUV) is conventionally calculated using the ratio of the injected PET radiotracer dose and subject body weight (Binj) . SUVs are used to obtain SUV ratios (SUVr), an important metric in many Alzheimer's Disease (AD) neuroimaging studies. However, SUVr can be obtained using only neuroimaging data, bypassing the need for Binj . This paper proposes the SUVr-LightWeight (SUVr-LW) algorithm which is not reliant on clinical data and instead focuses on PET intensity values. The SUVr-LW was evaluated using the Centiloid Project Florebetaben (FBB) subject cohort and reached a linear regression slope of 0.98, while the healthy control subjects produced a slope of 0.87.
