Method of Treating Alzheimer's Disease with X-ray Minibeams

Background

Alzheimer?s Disease is the most common form of dementia among the elderly and affects over five million individuals in the United States. To date, there is no definitive treatment to cure or halt the progression of Alzheimer?s Disease. Approved pharmacotherapies offer only modest and transient symptomatic benefits.

Technology

The proposed x-ray method replaces conventional x-ray exposures used in previous studies. This alternative is an efficient therapeutic outcome, one that is maintaining a tissue-sparing effect.

Advantages

Treatment method is centered around maintaining a tissue-sparing effect allowing for 10X higher dose limits than conventional x-rays.
