Description

New Study Suggests PET Scans Could Detect Early Alzheimers SignsA groundbreaking study from UCSF indicates that PET scans might be able to detect early signs of Alzheimers disease by identifying tau protein buildup. The research, focusing on over 100 individuals, found that those with the APOE four gene, linked to Alzheimers risk, showed higher tau levels, even in those with normal memory. This discovery could lead to earlier detection and intervention, potentially altering the course of the disease.
