Alzheimer's disease can be detected using positron emission tomography (PET) scans, which involve the use of radioactive tracers. These tracers bind to amyloid plaques or tau protein tangles in the brain, which are characteristic features of Alzheimer's. By visualizing the distribution of these tracers through radiation emitted during the scan, doctors can identify the presence and extent of the disease. This imaging technique aids in diagnosing Alzheimer's and differentiating it from other forms of dementia.
