Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Trial
Study to Evaluate the Feasibility of [18F]Florbetapir PET for Assessment in MS Patients
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of [18F]Florbetapir positron emission tomography (PET) for assessment of demyelination in the patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis.
Full Description
The underlying goal of this study is to assess the feasibility of [18F]Florbetapir as an imaging tool to detect demyelination in the brain of MS research participants and compare to similarly aged healthy subjects.
