Background Systemic amyloid light chain (AL) amyloidosis is the most common type of
amyloidosis, leading to cardiomyocyte necrosis and interstitial fibrosis. Gallium-68-labeled …

Objectives: This study sought to investigate the efficacy of 11C-Pittsburgh B (PiB) positron
emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of cardiac …

11C-Pittsburgh compound B (PiB) PET/CT visualizes the amount of myocardial amyloid
deposit and can be used to prognosticate patients with amyloid light-chain (AL) cardiac …

Background The thioflavin T derivative, 11C-Pittsburgh-B (PIB), is used for Alzheimer's
disease imaging because it specifically binds to β-amyloid protein deposits in the brain. The …

Purpose Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a rare cause of heart failure with frequently delayed
diagnosis, because specific early signs or symptoms are missing. Recently, direct amyloid …

Introduction Cardiac amyloidosis is a rare condition characterized by the deposition of well-
structured protein fibrils, proteoglycans, and serum proteins as amyloid. Recent work has …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to determine phenotypes characterizing cardiac
involvement in AL amyloidosis by using direct (fluorine-18-labeled florbetapir {[18F] …

Background Conventional nuclear imaging with bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals has
been shown to be a sensitive test for the detection of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis …

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of kinetic modeling-based approaches from [18F]-
Flobetaben dynamic PET images as a non-invasive diagnostic method for cardiac …

Background We evaluated the diagnostic performance of 18 F-NaF PET/MRI in patients with
suspected cardiac amyloidosis (CA). Methods Twenty-seven consecutive patients …
