SPECT/CT SUV-based metrics: A promising diagnostic tool in classifying patients with suspected transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis among the different Perugini grades?

CONCLUSION: Single photon emission computed tomography/CT SUV metrics could be complementary to planar scintigraphy in classifying patients among the different Perugini grades. The ratio SUVmaxmyo/SUVmaxliver was the only parameter with high affinity to differentiate patients with grade 1, as grade 0 or grade 2/3 for ATTR-CA.PMID:38085832 | DOI:10.1967/s002449912601
