Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Active Professional Fighters
Active professional fighters (with and without cognitive impairment) will receive a single intravenous (IV) bolus injection of 370 megabecquerel (MBq) (10 millicurie [mCi]) of 18F-AV-1451.
 Drug: 18F-AV-1451
Other Name: [F-18]T807
Experimental: Retired Professional Fighters
Retired professional fighters (with and without cognitive impairment) will receive a single IV bolus injection of 370 MBq (10mCi) of 18F-AV-1451.
 Drug: 18F-AV-1451
Other Name: [F-18]T807


Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. 18F-AV-1451 Uptake [ Time Frame: 75-105 minutes post injection ]
    Standard Uptake Value Ratios (SUVRs) by subject enrollment group (active/retired and cognitive impaired/normal) will be compared to detect differences across the enrollment groups.
