1. A device for performing an amyloid assessment, the device comprising:
a radiation detector assembly including a plurality of radiation detectors mounted in or on a patient support; and
at least one electronic processor programmed to:
detect radiation counts from the plurality of radiation detectors of the radiation detector assembly over a data acquisition time interval;
compute, from the detected radiation counts, at least one current count metric comprising a total counts detected by the plurality of radiation detectors over the data acquisition time interval, by scaling the at least one current count metric using a predetermined scaling factor based on one or more of patient weight, patient age, patient gender, and patient ethnicity;
store the at least one current count metric associated with a current test date in a non-transitory storage medium; and
determine an amyloid metric based on a comparison of the at least one current count metric with a count metric stored in the non-transitory storage medium associated with an earlier test date.
