Inclusion Criteria
  1. General Subject Inclusion Criteria

    In order to be eligible for participation in this trial, the subject must:

    • Be ≥ 40 and < 80 years of age at the Screening Visit.
    • Be able to read at a 6th grade level or equivalent, (as determined by the investigator, and must have a history of academic achievement and/or employment sufficient to exclude mental retardation.)
    • Be able to speak, read, hear, and understand the language of the trial staff, and the informed consent form, and possess the ability to respond verbally to questions, follow instructions, and complete questionnaires and detailed neuropsychological test.
    • Have results of clinical laboratory tests/physical examination, vital signs, and ECG within normal limits (at 90 days prior to [18F]THK-5351 positron emission computed tomography) or clinically acceptable to the investigator at screening.
    • Be able to possess the ability to respond verbally to questions, follow instructions, and underwent research assessment, including brain images based on the investigator's judgment. Each subject is also able and willing to adhere visit schedules.
    • If female, not be of childbearing potential as indicated by one of the following
    • Each subject (or legal representative) must sign the informed consent form in accordance with local requirements after the scope and nature of the investigation have been explained to them, and before screening assessments.
    • Each subject must be willing to provided blood samples for genotyping apolipoprotein E
  2. Cognitively Healthy Subjects

  3. MCI Subjects

  4. AD Subjects

  5. Subjects with other neurodegenerative disease

Exclusion Criteria

The subject must be excluded from participating in the trial if the subject fulfil any single criteria described below:

  1. General Exclusion Criteria
  • Based on the investigators' judgement, if the patient is not capable of communicating with the site personnel, if the patient is not proficient in the language in which the psychometric tests will be completed, or if the patient is not sufficient for compliance with the study procedures.
  • The patient has an abnormal physical examination or abnormal laboratory test results at the screening that are clinically significant to affect results of the research, as judged by the investigator.
  • If the patient has or is suspicious of having a hypersensitivity or allergy to [18F] THK-5351 or its derivatives.
  • The patient is pregnant, is attempting to become pregnant, or is nursing (breast-feeding) children.
  • The patient has a history of alcoholism or drug dependency/abuse within the last 2 years before screening.
  • The patient has contraindications to undergo positron emission computed tomography or MRI, which include but are not restricted to the examples below: claustrophobia, cardiac pacemaker, metal devices around the eye or spinal cord, cochlear implant, etc.) at the screening visit.
  • The patient has been treated with any investigational medicinal product (IMP) within 30 days prior to the screening visit.
  • The patient has been tested positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus antibodies (anti-HCV), HIV Antibody, or syphilis serum test at the screening visit.
  • The patient has been receiving an anti-cholinergic drug in a regular basis within 3 months prior to the screening visit.
  • The patient has evidence of a clinically relevant neurological disorders other than the disease being studied (i.e., prodromal AD) at screening, including but not limited to: territorial cerebral infarction, intracranial hemorrhage, multiple sclerosis, neurosyphilis, mental retardation, hypoxic encephalopathy, major head trauma with loss of consciousness that led to persistent cognitive deficits.
