Tau PET Imaging in Atypical Dementias

March 19, 2024 updated by: Emily Rogalski, Northwestern University
The goal of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of mapping tau pathology in subjects with Primary Progressive Aphasia, using PET protocol with F-AV-1451 (trade name AV-1451) and to systematically document the extent and location of tau pathology in PPA patients in vivo using the same techniques.
