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

An x-ray therapy method for treating Alzheimer's disease that maintains a tissue-sparing effect allowing for higher doses

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.
