Alzheimer's Disease
A Study to Assess Regional Cerebral Blood Flow as an Alzheimer's Disease Biomarker Compared to Positron Emission Tomography in Patients With Mild-to-Moderate Alzheimer's Disease and Cognitively Normal Elderly Subjects (Study MK-0000-068)(COMPLETED)
The aim of the study is to determine if regional cerebral blood flow, measured by dynamic arterial spin labeling (dASL), can be a biomarker for stage of Alzheimer's disease.
