Clinical trials: Motor Neuron Diseases
Dementia, Movement Disorders
Comparison of NeuroEXPLORER PET/CT Versus Standard-of-care PET/CT of the Head and Neck Region.
The goal of this clinical study is to compare the current standard-of-care PET/CT scanner with the new NeuroEXPLORER PET/CT, with the aim of demonstrating the added diagnostic value of the new scanner.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Measuring Levels of SMN in Blood Samples of SMA Patients
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a disorder that affects the motor neurons. SMA is caused by a mutation in a part of the DNA called the survival motor neuron (SMN1) gene, which normally produces a protein called SMN.

- United States
- Volunteers
- 73 people
