First Brain-Dedicated PET Scanning Clinic Opens in U.S. for Early Alzheimer's Detection

Algernon Health opened the first U.S. clinic dedicated exclusively to brain PET scanning at HCA Florida University Medical Office Building in Davie, Florida. The facility uses the FDA-cleared CareMiBrain system, which delivers 25% less radiation exposure than standard PET/CT scanners. The clinic serves patients seeking early detection of Alzheimer's disease, dementia, Parkinson's disease, and other neurological conditions — conditions where early detection now unlocks access to FDA-approved treatments like Leqembi and Kisunla.
