Brain scan showdown: which test best spots Alzheimer's?
NCT ID NCT06618872
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a newer type of brain scan (Tau-PET) helps doctors diagnose Alzheimer's disease more accurately than the standard scan (Amyloid-PET). About 120 adults aged 50-85 with mild memory or thinking problems will get both scans. Researchers will track how often the scans change the doctor's diagnosis and confidence over time.
