Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to measure the amount of a protein in the brain known as tau using an imaging procedure called Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT). Tau has been shown to build up in the brains of patients with injury to brain cells. This study looks at neurodegenerative diseases such as frontotemporal degeneration (FTD).

Primary Outcome

Examine regional anatomic distribution of PET-tau uptake comparatively in dementia syndromes and PET-Tau uptake with neuropsychology and MRI regional GM atrophy at baseline collected under other center protocols. Uptake with neuropsychology and MRI regional GM atrophy at baseline.
