PET Tau - Neurodegenerative Disease Imaging

"The experimental tracer used for this study is called 18F-AV-1451 is a specialized radioactive PET tracer used to detect the presence of tau proteins in the brain.~Participants will undergo a baseline 18F-AV-1451 brain scan. If funding is available, participants will be asked to return for one or more longitudinal visits, including a 18F-AV-1451 brain scan, every 9 to 18 months after the prior visit.~The 18F-AV-1451 PET/CT scan will require up to 3 hours of time, including preparation. The scan will take place using PET/CT scanners in the Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine or the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania."
