Read our Alzheimer Disease research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers are testing whether a special type of brain imaging called 7-Tesla MRI with magnetic resonance spectroscopy can identify early metabolic changes in the brain that predict how Alzheimer's disease will progress. This imaging is more detailed than standard MRI and may reveal important information about energy and chemical imbalances in the brain that occur early in Alzheimer's disease. The study aims to help doctors better understand and predict disease progression in people with early-stage Alzheimer's.
Alzheimer's disease involves complex changes in how the brain uses energy and processes chemicals, not just the plaques and tangles doctors have focused on for years. Better tools to predict which patients will decline faster could help doctors and families plan care and identify people who might benefit most from new treatments.

You would visit the research center for a specialized brain imaging scan using a powerful 7-Tesla MRI machine combined with magnetic resonance spectroscopy — advanced techniques that provide detailed pictures and information about brain chemistry. This study follows you over time, so you would have multiple visits to track how your brain changes. The imaging scan itself is non-invasive and painless, though you'll need to lie still inside the scanner for a period of time.
