This project aims to investigate the added value of a novel PET brain imaging tool of synapticdensity (concentration of signal transmission sites) in patients with Alzheimer's disease, dementiawith Lewy bodies and difficult-to-distinguish early cognitive impairment. We also want todemonstrate, using an advanced simultaneous PET-MR scan, that the combination of synapticdensity (PET), blood flow and structure (MR), allows a better/faster diagnosis and risk assessmentin persons with cognitive decline than is currently possible.
