Researchers at the NIA-funded ADRCs have been collecting different types of PET and MR images using various acquisition methods for many years. Because of this, image data could not be easily combined across ADRCs, resulting in lost opportunities for scientific collaboration. The goal of SCAN is to standardize PET and MRI data collection from across the ADRC Program so that it can be combined and shared with researchers worldwide via the NACC Data Platform.
