Completed
Conditions
Sleep Disorder
Interventions
Diagnostic Test: Structural 3T MRI
Diagnostic Test: MRI Based Perfusion Imaging
Diagnostic Test: VR-CO2 MRI Scans
Registration Number
NCT03912571
Lead Sponsor
NYU Langone Health
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the sleep patterns of subjects with or without sleep disturbances (insomnia, sleep apnea) and compare these findings with their previous FDG/PIB PET, structural MRI and brain blood flow scams performed during their participation in the Following studies 'Alzheimer's Disease Core Center (ADCC) Clinical Evaluation' (IRB: 2942), MRI Progression Markers of Cognitive Decline in the Elderly' (IRB:09-0586), or 'Imaging Neuro inflammation in Alzheimer's Disease with \[11C\] Arachidonic Acid (AA) and PET'(IRB: 10-00442).
