Evaluation of Neuroinflammation in Parkinson's Disease Using 18F-NOS PET/CT (NCT04062526)
Evaluation of in Vivo Neuroinflammation in Parkinson's Disease Using 18F-NOS Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The research study is being conducted to test how a specialized type of Positron Emission Tomography (PET/CT) scan could potentially be useful in diagnosing or monitoring treatment in people with Parkinson's disease. If the subject decide to be in this study he/she will have a PET/CT scans using an imaging drug called 18F-NOS which will be used to measure inflammation in the brain.
