Carbon-11 Pittsburgh compound B (C-11 PiB) PET/CT demonstrates robust capability for detecting cardiac amyloidosis and accurately differentiating its subtypes, according to research presented December 4 at RSNA.
Takashi Norikane, MD, PhD, of Kagawa University in Kagawa, Japan, presented a study in which 81 patients underwent 30-minute PiB-PET/CT scans, with images in patients with the disease clearly indicating light chain amyloidosis (AL amyloidosis) from transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR amyloidosis).
