- Brief Summary
This study is designed to expand the database of flortaucipir F 18 safety and tau binding as measured by PET imaging and to provide standardized conditions for flortaucipir PET use, data collection and analysis to facilitate companion studies including, but not limited to, longitudinal studies of aging, depression, and traumatic brain injury.

- Subjects who have a historical volumetric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as part of the companion study
- Have clinically significant cardiac, hepatic, renal, pulmonary, metabolic, or endocrine disturbances

Group Intervention Description Flortaucipir PET Scans Brain PET scan - Flortaucipir PET Scans Flortaucipir F18 -
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Flortaucipir PET Scan SUVr baseline and follow-up scans Standard Uptake Value Ratio (SUVr) using a weighted cortical average. For SUVr, a value of 1 or lower signifies no flortaucipir activity above background, values greater than 1 signify increasing flortaucipir activity in the brain.
Number of Participants With Adverse Events Related to Flortaucipir Administration within 48 hours of drug administration Frequency of treatment-emergent adverse events considered related to flortaucipir administration by the study investigator. Related events with a frequency \> 1.5% are reported.
(note: all treatment-emergent adverse events, regardless of relatedness designation, are reported in "Adverse Events" section below).
