JEDDAH: King Abdulaziz University has unveiled the first diagnostic service for Alzheimer鈥檚 disease using integrated positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, collectively known as PET/MRI.

The service is offered through KAU鈥檚 Molecular Imaging Center (I-One), operating under the umbrella of Wadi Jeddah, the university鈥檚 investment arm.

The center, the only facility in 抖阴短视频鈥檚 Western and Southern regions equipped with a cyclotron for radiopharmaceutical production, spearheads the initiative.

A PET/MRI scan works by creating a three-dimensional image of the body using a PET scan and an MRI scan.

The KAU鈥檚 Alzheimer鈥檚 diagnostic service utilizes Amyloid PET/MRI imaging, developed in collaboration with Oryx Isotopes.

Early detection and diagnosis of Alzheimer鈥檚 disease plays a critical role in improving a patient鈥檚 quality of life and slowing the progression of the condition.
