New brain imaging study seeks to uncover early clues in Alzheimer's
NCT ID NCT07482072
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to better understand how blood flow and sugar use in the brain are altered in Alzheimer's disease, especially in people who also have type 2 diabetes. Researchers will use advanced PET scans to measure these changes in 60 participants across three groups: people with Alzheimer's, people with both Alzheimer's and diabetes, and healthy older adults. The goal is to identify early brain changes that could lead to earlier diagnosis and new treatments.
