Super-Detailed brain scans could reveal early signs of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS
NCT ID NCT07509125
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study uses a new ultra-high-resolution PET scanner to take detailed pictures of the brain and spinal cord in 300 healthy volunteers and people with conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, and psychotic disorders. The goal is to understand how small brain regions change with age and disease, which could help doctors diagnose these conditions earlier. Participants will have brain scans and complete memory, mood, and movement tests.
