Summary
Project Summary/Abstract Amyloid-beta (Aβ) is a small piece of a larger protein called amyloid precursor protein. It accumulates in stages into microscopic amyloid plaques that are considered a hallmark of a brain affected by Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Positron emission tomography (PET) is an established technique to detect Aβ plaques in vivo. Some preclinical and postmortem data report an accumulation of redox-active iron near Aβ plaques. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of Aβ plaques has been attempted using various techniques, notably with susceptibility contrast. The non-invasive detectabi
