Study Summary
This study is being done to learn about tau tangles in Alzheimer's disease. A type of positron emission tomography (PET) scan is used to measure the abnormal accumulation of protein called tau in the brain. These are thought to be involved in Alzheimer's disease. The investigators will also perform brain MRI and to tests to measure the participant's memory and thinking.
Primary Outcome
Standardized uptake value ratio (SUVr)
Interventions
- DRUG 18F-MK-6240
- PROCEDURE Lumbar Puncture (optional)
