摘要:
The present subject matter relates to anon-invasive optical imaging method for monitoringear-ly pathological events specific to Alzheimer's disease(AD), such as the development, amount and location ofamyloid plaques. The ability to monitor such eventspro-vides a basis for, among other things, AD diagnosis,prognosis and assessment of potential therapies. Inaddi-tion, the present subject matter introduces novel methodsfor treating AD and retinal ailments associated with AD.A.beta.-plaque detection in living brains is extremely limited,especially at high resolution; therefore the presentinven-tion is based on studies focusing on the eyes as analter-native to brain-derived tissue that can be imageddirect-ly, repetitively and non-invasively.
