- The participant is 50 years or older.
- Written informed consent is obtained.
- Participants have a clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease based on National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke/Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association (NINCDS/ADRDA) criteria.
- Mini-Mental Status Exam score < 25.
- Modified Hachinski Ischemia Scale score of ≤ 4.
- Geriatric Depression Scales (GDS) ≤ 10.
- For females, non-child bearing potential or negative urine or blood pregnancy test on day of 123-I AV94 injection.
EXCLUSION CRITERIA: ALZHEIMER DISEASE
- The subject has signs or symptoms of another neurodegenerative disease including Parkinson's disease, diffuse Lewy body dementia, or history of significant cerebrovascular disease.
- The subject has a clinically significant abnormal laboratory value and/or clinically significant unstable medical or psychiatric illness
- The subject has any disorder that may interfere with drug absorption distribution, metabolism, or excretion (including gastrointestinal surgery).

Concomitant therapy Patients may remain on a stable dose of anticholinesterase medication during the study. Use of donepezil (Aricept®), rivastigmine (Exelon®), galantamine (Razadyne®), tacrine (Cognex®), and memantine (Namenda®) are permitted during the study. Doses of these compounds must be stable for 2 months prior to the study. At each visit after the screening visit, the investigator will ask the patient whether any medications including OTC medications, were taken since the previous visit.
Use of antipsychotics for agitation and benzodiazepines for insomnia or anxiety is permitted. However, the use of these agents is not permitted within the 8 hours prior to administration of cognitive testing.

- Mini-Mental Status Exam score ≥28.
- For females, non-child bearing potential or negative urine or blood pregnancy test on day of 123-I AV94 injection.
