New portable brain scanner could ease Alzheimer's imaging bottleneck
NCT ID NCT06757569
First seen Feb 03, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study is testing a new, smaller, and mobile PET scanner called the Radialis PET Imager (RPI) to see if it can take pictures of amyloid plaques in the brain as well as standard PET scanners. Amyloid plaques are a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, and seeing them helps doctors diagnose and manage the condition. The researchers want to know if this cheaper, more portable device can handle the growing demand for these scans. About 160 adults with cognitive impairment who are already scheduled for a standard amyloid PET scan will also get an extra scan with the RPI, and the images will be compared.
