Summary
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate a new radioactive compound used in positron
emission tomography (PET) scans in identifying tau tangles (a certain protein that might be
associated with Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer's Disease) in the brain, and if the amount of
tau tangles in the brain has a relationship to cognitive status.
This study involves a PET scans using the radioactive compound, F 18 T807 for measurement of
tau deposition. This radioactive compound is not approved by the United States Food and Drug
Administration (FDA). An MRI may also be conducted.
