Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Age ≥ 60 years
  • Informed, written consent form
  • To fully satisfy the criteria for one of the two following 2 groups:
  • for the AD group:
  • Diagnosed with AD as defined per the International Working Group IWG 2 criteria (fulfilling core clinical criteria plus positive core AD CSF biomarkers): Light to mild AD defined by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score between 15 and 27 (included).
  • Documented positive visual read (as per EMA-approved procedures for each respective tracer) of an amyloid PET scan, which in the opinion of the principal investigator is consistent with a diagnosis of AD in the last 24 months.
  • Lumbar puncture with core AD CSF biomarkers available in the last 24 months.
  • For the cognitively health group:
  • Normal cognition as defined by the ALFA study cognitive workup (Molinuevo et al. 2016).
  • CONFIDENTIAL 17
  • \[18F\]-Flutemetamol PET scan performed in the context of the PET FLUTEMETAMOL-FDG/BBRC2015 study in the last 24 months.
  • Lumbar puncture with core AD CSF biomarkers preferably available in the last 24 months.

Exclusion

  • Past or present history of major brain disorders other than MCI or AD.
  • Contraindication to MRI scanning or conditions precluding entry into the scanners (e.g. morbid obesity, claustrophobia, etc.).
  • Participation in a clinical trial for a disease modifying drug for AD.
  • Hypoperfusion pattern not consistent with AD diagnosis, as assessed by ASL.
