Quantitative Evaluation of [18F]T807 as a Potential PET Radioligand for Imaging Tau in Patients With Alzheimer's Disease

Summary

The primary objective of this exploratory imaging study is to further characterize \[18F\]T807, an investigational PET radioligand for imaging Tau (thought to be a downstream biomarker indicative of neurodegeneration in conditions such as AD).
