What about brain imaging? There are ways of scanning for plaques in the brain.

In my program, we're collaborating with the University of Pittsburgh to study imaging. It's a breakthrough technique, but all such techniques have their limits. We need to develop many approaches simultaneously. No test will be 100 percent accurate. In the same way that we need multiple treatments, we need a full armamentarium of diagnostics that can be applied in cost-effective ways.
