Brief Summary

The underlying goal of this study is to assess 123-I AV39 SPECT imaging as a tool to detect ß-amyloid deposition in the brain of AD research participants and age- and gender-matched healthy subjects.

Detailed Description

Approximately 20 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 10 healthy controls will be recruited to participate in this study. Healthy controls will be examined to ensure that there is no evidence of...
