Advanced brain imaging techniques for Alzheimer's disease
Core G: Neuroimaging Core
This study is looking for people with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias to help us use advanced MRI and PET scans to find new ways to diagnose and treat these conditions better, while also building a shared database to help researchers learn more about the disease.

What this research studies
This research focuses on utilizing cutting-edge MRI and PET imaging technologies to study Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Participants will undergo various imaging procedures to help identify and validate new biomarkers that could improve diagnosis and treatment. The study aims to create a comprehensive database of imaging data that can be shared among researchers to enhance understanding of the disease. By collaborating with different research cores, the project seeks to maximize the impact of these imaging measures on patient care.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research include individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias who are willing to participate in advanced imaging procedures.
Not a fit: Patients with conditions unrelated to Alzheimer's disease or those who are unable to undergo MRI or PET imaging may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved diagnostic tools and treatment strategies for patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in using advanced imaging techniques to study Alzheimer's disease, indicating that this approach is both promising and validated.
