|
The 2018 Alzheimer's Association AIM Advocacy Forum has been moved to June 17-19, as Congress won't be in session during the event's original dates. We apologize for any inconvenience but feel this change is necessary to deliver the best and most effective Advocacy Forum experience for our advocates.

IDEAS Study reaches recruitment goal
|
In 2016, the Alzheimer's Association launched the Imaging Dementia—Evidence for Amyloid Scanning (IDEAS) Study, the largest ongoing study in dementia research, to test the impact of a brain amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) scan on medical management of people where the cause of their dementia or cognitive impairment is challenging to diagnose. The study has met its recruitment goal to provide more than 18,000 Medicare participants with amyloid PET scans and has closed enrollment ahead of schedule.
