What is involved?

• Testing: PET imaging at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley. Patients are studied with PIB (90 min scan) and FDG (30 min scan), with break in between the two scans. The results of the scan will be released to the participant’s primary neurologist at the Memory and Aging Center, typically within 2-4 weeks.
• Frequency of visits: One visit, some patients may be asked to come back for a second scan 1-2 years later.
• Materials needed prior to evaluation: None
• Costs: No costs will be charged for any of the study procedures. Patients will be sent a check for $100 if they complete both scans.
