PET and MRI Feature Scan

Caption

The illuminated spotes (red, yellow and green) indicate an accumulation of the protein beta-amyloid. The top row shows the brain of a patient diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Bottom row shows a brain from a healthy person. There are always some nonspecific binding of color markers, hence the bright spots in the healthy person.
