Diagnostic Imaging

Evaluation of the diagnostic potential of BAY1006578 in probable Alzheimers disease patients versus healthy volunteers and radiation dosimetry of BAY1006578 in healthy volunteers

Trial purpose

PET (positron emission tomography) imaging with BAY1006578 for investigation of diagnostic potential in probable Alzheimer Disease patients versus healthy volunteers and radiation dosimetry in healthy volunteers.
