| Summary: | Neurodegenerative diseases are illnesses that affect the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by a series of symptoms such as dementia, motor disturbances, behavioural and psychological disorders, and cognitive impairments. The most common neurodegenerative disorders are Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, for which radiopharmaceuticals have been developed and approved for the purpose of PET investigation. Biomarkers are molecules that can be studied and used for diagnostic purposes, to monitor diseases, and to identify potential risk factors early. |
