A new scan called PiB PET shows the build up of amyloid protein deposits in the brain in all patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) but also in 30% of normal elderly persons. This study will track the build up of amyloid and clinical progress in 280 elderly Australians to confirm that this scan can detect AD before symptoms and investigate factors that influence this build up and its damaging effects on memory and thinking. Early detection of Alzheimer's disease will assist accurate diagnosis and the development of treatment.

一种名为PiB PET的新扫描显示，在所有阿尔茨海默病（AD）患者的大脑中，淀粉样蛋白沉积在30%的正常老年人中。这项研究将跟踪280名澳大利亚老年人的淀粉样蛋白的积累和临床进展，以证实这种扫描可以在症状出现之前检测到AD，并调查影响这种积累的因素及其对记忆和思维的破坏性影响。早期发现阿尔茨海默病将有助于准确诊断和治疗的发展。
