Video Description: New May 2022! C2N Diagnostics now has an Alzheimer’s blood test on the market. Accurately diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease can be a challenge without having an MRI, PET scan or spinal tap. For patients and families, the testing is an added expense and burden, possibly very difficult for the patient. Without testing, doctors can’t be sure of the diagnosis as other forms of dementia masquerade as Alzheimer’s. Now there’s something new to help doctors accurately diagnose.
