Nursing care for Alzheimer's patients during PET/CT scans
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a special nursing care plan for Alzheimer's patients during PET/CT brain scans. The goal is to make the imaging experience more comfortable and safe for people with memory loss.

This trial uses special PET scans to see amyloid and tau proteins in the brain, which are linked to Alzheimer's. It aims to find these changes early, in people with mild memory problems or early-stage Alzheimer's.
This study uses a special PET scan to take pictures of abnormal tau protein in the brain. It aims to see if the scan results match what is found in brain tissue after death, which could help improve diagnosis of Alzheimer's and related conditions.
This trial uses a new type of PET scan to look for specific proteins in the brain that are linked to Alzheimer's disease. It will help doctors see how these proteins relate to cognitive decline and compare scans from people with normal thinking to those with memory problems.
This study uses special brain scans (PET scans) to look for proteins linked to Alzheimer's disease. It aims to improve diagnosis and track how the disease progresses over time.
This study uses a special PET scan to look for inflammation in the brains of people with Alzheimer's or related dementias. It may help researchers understand how inflammation affects memory and thinking problems.
This study uses a special brain scan to measure “tau” buildup in people with an inherited form of Alzheimer’s. It may help researchers better understand disease changes and evaluate whether the scan can track them over time.
