Health & Aging Brain Study: Health Disparities TAU Project

By doing this study we are trying to learn more about brain aging in Mexican Americans.

Participants will be asked to complete a screening visit to determine if it is safe to undergo a PET scan.

If eligible, participants will undergo a medical procedure that takes a picture of their brain. This procedure is called a PET scan of the brain.
