Purpose
This is a prospective, open label, non-therapeutic, diagnostic imaging study. The purpose of this study is to utilize Pittsburgh Compound B positron emission imaging (PiB PET) to ascertain the relationship between change in amyloid burden over time, and concurrent change in clinical status.

| Study Design: | Allocation: Non-Randomized Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Diagnostic |
| Official Title: | Brain Amyloid Imaging With Pittsburgh Compound B in Normal Aging, Mild Cognitive Impairment, and Dementia |
- To understand the predictive ability of PiB PET imaging for neurodegenerative diseases. [ Time Frame: up to 20 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Using PiB-PET, to ascertain cross-sectionally the magnitude and the spatial distribution of amyloid deposition in the brain in subjects who are clinically classified as CN, MCI, and demented. [ Time Frame: up to 20 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- To identify the relationship between amyloid burden and the risk of progression from CN at baseline to MCI. [ Time Frame: up to 20 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- To identify the relationship between amyloid burden and the risk of progression from MCI at baseline to dementia. [ Time Frame: up to 20 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- To measure longitudinal change in amyloid burden and cognition and characterize the correlation between change on serial PiB-PET measures vs. FDG measures and concurrent change on continuous measures of cognitive performance. [ Time Frame: up to 20 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Detailed Description:
Identification of risk factors and biomarkers of neurodegenerative disease is essential in caring for the growing numbers of elderly. Imaging biomarkers provide non-invasive ways to look at brain function. A new PET imaging agent, Pittsburgh Compound B (PiB), that identifies brain amyloid is an exciting development in brain imaging that needs to be studied. We plan to study this imaging technique in normal volunteers and patients with a variety of neurodegenerative diseases to determine its utility. Long term followup of these subjects will allow us to understand the predictive ability of this new test.
