Brief summary
The study is carried out in order to investigate if \[11C\]AZD2995, compared to \[11C\]AZD2184, is a more suitable PET ligand for in vivo imaging of β amyloid depositions in the human brain. In the study the two PET ligands will be examined in both healthy volunteers and patients with Alzheimer's Disease.
Interventions
Single dose of i.v solution. 1-2 times for AD patients. Once for healthy volunteers.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Positron emission tomography using the radioligand (11C)AZD2995 or (11C)AZD2184 | Radioligand (11C)AZD2995.1-2 PET examinations for AD patients and 1 PET examination for healthy volunteers. - Radioligand (11C) AZD2184.One PET for AD patients respective healthy volunteers. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To assess safety and tolerability of [11C]AZD2995, [11C]AZD2184 and the study procedures, by assessment of adverse events, vital signs and laboratory variables. | 3-4 visits with tests for the AD patients. 3 visits with tests for the healthy volunteers. All tests are not done at every visit. |
