Brain blood flow test accuracy study in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests how reliable a brain scan called [15O]H2O-PET is for measuring blood flow. It aims to improve our understanding of brain health in people over 60 without diabetes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares how well the heart and brain work during exercise in people with type 2 diabetes and healthy older adults. It aims to understand how diabetes affects fitness, blood flow, and thinking skills.
This trial studies how tau (a protein linked to Alzheimer’s and related conditions) shows up on a special brain scan called tau PET. It also uses MRI and blood work to understand brain changes and who may be at risk, helping researchers improve future diagnosis.
This early-phase study tests a new PET scan tracer that targets a brain chemical transport system involved in dementia. It aims to see if the tracer can safely and clearly show brain changes, which could help future dementia diagnosis or tracking.
This Phase 1 study tests a PET scan to measure inflammation-related changes in the brain using a medication called ketoprofen. It may help researchers understand which people with certain brain diseases could benefit from treatments aimed at inflammation.
This study uses brain scans to see how blood flow and sugar transport work in people with both Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes. It may help doctors understand how these conditions interact and find better treatments.
This study uses a special PET/CT scan that shows how well blood reaches your heart muscle. It may help doctors better assess suspected or known reduced blood flow (ischemic heart disease).
