Tau-PET Imaging Enables More Accurate Alzheimer's Diagnosis

A brain imaging technology called tau-PET can improve Alzheimer's diagnostics in health care, according to a study from the University of Gothenburg. The technology enables earlier diagnosis and robustly identifies people at highest risk, even before symptoms appear. Tau-PET is a relatively new technique that shows the accumulation of tau protein, a biological marker of Alzheimer's disease.
