 Integrated PET/MR for Alzheimer’s DiseaseIntegrated PET/MR for Alzheimer’s Disease
 
PET/MR imaging is used for monitoring and assessing brain function, molecular information and metabolism. Combined PET/MR imaging has improved the diagnostic power for Alzheimer’s disease, enabling early and accurate diagnoses and better elimination of differential diagnoses. Combining PET and MR scans is a convenient option for patients which also lowers the amount of radiation they are exposed to.

The use of benzodiazepines and related drugs (Z drugs) is associated with a modestly increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, according to a recent study from the University of Eastern Finland.
