The impact of nursing Interventions during PET/CT imaging in Alzheimer's patients on image quality and patient satisfaction will be assessed in 200 patients.

Full description

This study will analyze clinical data from 200 Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients who underwent PET imaging and were admitted to Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital over a period of six months. The control group will receive routine nursing intervention, while the observation group will receive a refined specialized nursing intervention.
