Brief summary
PET (positron emission tomography) imaging with BAY85-8102 F-18, DPA-714 for investigation of neuroinflammation pattern in probable Alzheimers patients versus healthy volunteers and radiation dosimetry in healthy volunteer.
Interventions
Alzheimer Disease patients: Single intervenous bolus injection of 250 MBq BAY85-8102 on day one of the treatment period, PET/CT
