   Proposal Description:
   The goal of this proposed study is to use data from NACC to estimate the rate of progression from MCI to dementia, following objective memory testing, a structural MRI scan, and an Am-PET scan. In addition, this study aims to show the extent to which an Am-PET scan performed after objective memory testing and an MRI scan (the most likely clinical sequence), would increase or decrease the clinician?s pre-test confidence of progression to dementia.
