Preparing for the new era of neuroimaging for Alzheimer’s disease

PET biomarkers are fast becoming critical in the new era of disease modification for Alzheimer’s disease. Techniques around amyloid and tau require the expertise of nuclear medicine and radiology physicians to investigate and interpret PET scans in clinical settings. This program examines current and emerging biomarkers and assists in identifying patterns from different PET tracers in an interactive perceptual learning environment.
