An estimated 24 million people worldwide have dementia, the majority of whom are thought to have Alzheimer's disease. Thus, Alzheimer's disease represents a major public health concern and has been identified as a research priority. Although there are licensed treatments that can alleviate symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, there is a pressing need to improve our understanding of pathogenesis to enable development of disease-modifying treatments. Methods for improving diagnosis are also moving… CONTINUE READING

Interventional Clinical Trial
The goal of this project is to determine whether low doses of ionizing radiation (LDIR) from
repeat CT scanning improves function, cognition and/or behavior in severe AD.
